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, whoa
listen to me now...
Chorus:
Blue river keep right on rollin'
All along the shoreline
Keep us safe from the deep
And the dark
We don't want to stray too far
I spent the day with my old dog mo
Walkin' down an old dirt road
What he's thinkin' about
I don't know
But for him i bet the time
Just goes so slow
He's just a dog you know
Listen to me now...
Chorus:
Blue river keep right on rollin'
All along the shoreline
Keep us safe from the deep
And the dark
Don't want to stray too far
Young man stands with his ax in his hand
Believin' that the crops are all in
Firewood stacked ten by ten
For the wife, the folks, the kids
And all of the kin
And a friend...
Chorus:
Blue river keep right on rollin'
All along the shoreline
keep us safe from the deep
And the dark
We don't want to stray too far
We don't want to stray too far
