Gonna Take A Lot Of River |
I ain’t gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway |
I aint' going nowhere feeling the way I do |
Because my baby’s long gone and nothings going my way |
I’m gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues |
It’s gonna take a lot of river |
To keep this broken heart afloat |
Gonna take a lot of river |
Running all the live long days |
Gonna take the Mississippi |
The Monongahela and the Ohio |
Gonna take a lot of river |
To wash these blues away |
Well, I wish I was a tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along |
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel |
There wouldn’t be no women that could ever take my loving and do me wrong |
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel |
It’s gonna take a lot of river |
To keep this broken heart afloat |
Gonna take a lot of river |
Running all the live long days |
Gonna take the Mississippi |
The Monongahela and the Ohio |
Gonna take a lot of river |
To wash these blues away |
Is she in New Orleans |
Is she a Cajun Queen |
I wonder what she’s doing now |
But if I know her |
She’s got rings and furs |
Struggling along somehow |
It’s gonna take a lot of river |
To keep this broken heart afloat |
Gonna take a lot of river |
Running all the live long days |
Gonna take the Mississippi |
The Monongahela and the Ohio |
Gonna take a lot of river |
To wash these blues away |
It’s gonna take a lot of river |
To keep this broken heart afloat |
Gonna take a lot of river |
Running all the live long days |
Gonna take the Mississippi |
The Monongahela and the Ohio |
Gonna take a lot of river |
To wash these blues away |
