Letra

How old was I when I first seen Old Rivers?
Well, just can't recall when he weren't around
Well, that old man did a heap of work
Spent his whole life walking plowed ground
He had a one-room shack not far from us
And well, we was about as poor as him
And he had one old mule he called Midnight
And I'd trail along after them
He used to plow them rows straight and deep
And I'd come along right behind
Bustin' up clods with my own two feet
Old Rivers was a friend of mine
When the sun would get high and that mule would work
And Old Rivers would finally say, "Whoa!"
He'd wipe his brow and lean back on the reins
And talk about a place he was gonna go
He said, "One of these, I'm gonna climb that mountain
Walk up there among them clouds
Where the cotton's high and the corn's a-growin'
And there ain't no fields to plow"
Got a letter the other day from the folks back home
They're all fine, the crops are dry
And at the end, Mom said, "You know, Old Rivers died"
Well, I'm sitting here now on this new-plowed earth
Tryin' to find me a little shade
And with the sun beating down 'cross the field, I see
That mule, Old Rivers and me
He said, "One of these, I'm gonna climb that mountain
Walk up there among them clouds
Where the cotton's high and the corn's a-growin'
And there ain't no fields to plow"
With the sun beating down 'cross the field, I see
That mule, Old Rivers and me
