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 |
