Lyrics

All of the riverboat gamblers are losing their shirts
All of the brave Union soldier boys sleep in the dirt
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 are 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 that I've seen mostly hell
My rig is outside, come and ride through the morning
Here in Spoon River
All of the riverboat gamblers are losing their shirts
All of the brave Union soldier boys sleep in the dirt
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
Here in Spoon River
Here in Spoon River
