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
