Blue River

Old man go to the river

To drop his bale of woes

He could go if he wanted to

It's just a boat to row, you know

Listen to me now

Blue river keep right on rolling (blue river keep right on rolling)

All along the shore line

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe from the deep)

'Cause we don't want to stray too far

Spent the day with my old dog Mo

Down an old dirt road

And what he's thinking, Lord, I don't know

But for him, I bet the time just goes so slow

Don't you know

Blue river keep right on rolling (blue river keep right on rolling)

All along the shore line

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe from the deep)

'Cause we don't want to stray too far

Young Rob stands with his axe in his hand

Believing that the crops are in

Firewood stacked ten by ten

For the wife, the folks, the kids

And all of the kin

And a friend, listen to me now

Blue river keep right on rolling (blue river keep right on rolling)

All along the shore line

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark (keep us safe from the deep)

'Cause we don't want to stray too far

No, we don't wanna stray too far
