Blue River lyrics

Old man go to the river

To drop his bale of woes

He could go if he wanted to

It's just a boat to row, you know

Listen to me now

Blue river, keep right on rollin' (blue river, keep on rollin')

All along the shoreline (all along the shoreline)

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe

from the deep)

'Cause we don't wanna stray too far

I spent the day with my old dog Mo

Down an old dirt road

And what he's thinkin', Lord, I don't know

But for him I bet the time must go so slow

Don't you know

But, blue river, keep right on rollin' (blue river, keep on rollin')

All along the shoreline (all along the shoreline)

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe

from the deep)

'Cause we don't wanna stray too far

Young Rob stands with his ax in his hand

Believin' that the crops are in

Firewood stacked, ten by ten

For the wife, the folks, the kids

And all of the kin ... and a friend

Listen to me now

Blue river, keep right on rollin' (blue river, keep on rollin', rollin')

All along the shoreline (all along the shoreline)

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe

from the deep)

'Cause we don't wanna stray too far

No, we don't wanna stray too far
