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 rollin
All along the shore line
Keep us safe from the deep and the dark
Cause we don't want to stray too far
Spent the day with my old dog Mo
Down an old dirt road
What he's thinking lord I don't know
But for him bet the time must go so slow
Don't you know
Blue River keep right on rollin
All along the shore line
Keep us safe from the deep and the dark
Cause we don't want to stray too far
Harmonica break
Young Rob stands with his ax in his hand
Believin that the crops are in
Fire wood stacked ten by ten
For the wife the folks the kids
All of the kin and a friend listen to me now
Blue River keep right on rollin
All along the shore line
Keep us safe from the deep and the dark
Cause we don't want to stray too far
