Natchitoches Way

Down the river gonna make my way
Down the river today
Down in the gutter since the day I saw
My baby runnin' away
Down under this weight

Can't eat nothin' and my legs are thin
Can't think of nothin' but sinnin'
Can't help about the shape I'm in
I ain't do nothin' but gin

Called her uncle on the edge of town
Said he ain't seen Ella since May
But he heard from a cousin down in Creston, now
Who'd seen her yesterday
Down by Natchitoches way

Can't eat nothin' and my legs are weak
Can't do nothin' but sleep
Can't help about the shape I'm in
Can't do nothin' when she's gone

Down the river gonna make my way
Down the river today
Heard she's runnin' with a brand new boy
Down by Natchitoches way
So I'm puttin' in the Cane

Forty-nine miles as the egrets fly
By Friday I'm in town
Can't do nothin' 'bout the weight til I
Row this log on down to Natchitoches
