Blue River

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 rolling (blue river keep right on rolling)
 All along the shore line
 Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe from the deep)
 'Cause we don't want to stray too far
 ♪
 Spent the day with my old dog Mo
 Down an old dirt road
 And what he's thinking, Lord, I don't know
 But for him, I bet the time just goes so slow
 Don't you know
 Blue river keep right on rolling (blue river keep right on rolling)
 All along the shore line
 Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe from the deep)
 'Cause we don't want to stray too far
 ♪
 Young Rob stands with his axe in his hand
 Believing 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 rolling (blue river keep right on rolling)
 All along the shore line
 Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe from the deep)
 'Cause we don't want to stray too far
 No, we don't wanna stray too far
