Lyrics

All of the riverboat gamblers
Are losing their shirts
All of the brave Union soldier boys
Sleep in the dirt
But you know, and I know,
There never was reason to hurt
When all of our lives
Were entwined to begin with
Here in Spoon River
All of the calico dresses,
The gingham and lace
Are up in the attic with
Grandfather's derringer case
There's words whispered down in
The parlor, a shadowy face
The morning is heavy
With one more beginning
Here in Spoon River
Come to the dance, Mary Perkins,
I like you right well
The Union's preserved,
If you listen you'll hear all the bells
There must be a heaven,
God knows I've seen mostly hell
My rig is outside,
Come and ride through the morning
Here in Spoon River
