Blue River

Tell me why your song is sad, never glad

Blue river, blue river

Do you hold a memory of a vanished dream?

Sing to me of lips I've pressed and caressed

Blue river, blue river

'Til I saw my hopes go drifting down the stream

Can't we both forget that bright summer night

In our little canoe?

When her blue eyes lost their light

As we whispered adieu

When I hear your lonesome song

I know that something's wrong

Blue river, blue river

Maybe it's because I'm just as blue as you
