I Ain't Gonna Ride No Rail Or Hitchhike Down No Highway

I Aint' Going Nowhere Feeling The Way I Do

Because My Baby's Long Gone And Nothings Going My Way

I'm Gonna Let This Muddy Water Just Wash Away My Blues.



Chorus:



Gonna Take A Lot Of River,

To Keep This Broken Heart Afloat,

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

Running All The Live Long Days,

Gonna Take The Mississippi, The Monongahela And The Ohio,

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

To Wash These Blues Away,



Well I Wish I Was Tug Boat Pushing And Pulling Them Barges Along

Moving On The Water With A Heart Made Of Iron And Steel

There Wouldn't Be No Women That Could Ever Take My Loving And Do Me Wrong

I Could Work All Day With Nothing In The World To Feel.



Chorus:



Gonna Take A Lot Of River

To Keep This Broken Heart Afloat

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

Running All The Live Long Days

Gonna Take The Mississippi, The Monongahela And The Ohio

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

To Wash These Blues Away



Is She In New Orleans

Is She A Cajun Queen

I Wonder What She's Doing Now

But If I Know Her She's Got Rings And Furs Struggeling Along Somehow



Chorus:



Gonna Take A Lot Of River

To Keep This Broken Heart Afloat

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

Running All The Live Long Days

Gonna Take The Mississippi, The Monongahela And The Ohio

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

To Wash These Blues Away



Gonna Take A Lot Of River

To Keep This Broken Heart Afloat

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

Running All The Live Long Days

Gonna Take The Mississippi, The Monongahela And The Ohio

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

To Wash These Blues Away
