Blue River Songtext
von Eric Andersen

Old man go to the river
To wash his pillow
He could go if he wanted to
It′s just a boat to row, you know

Listen to me, blue river
Keep right on rolling
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
My old dog Moe
Walking down an old dirt road
What he′s thinking 'bout
Well, I don't know
But for him I bet the time
Must go so slow
He′s just a dog, you know


Listen to me, blue river
Keep right on rolling
All along the shoreline
Keep us safe from the deep and the dark
We don′t want to stray too far

Young man stand
With his axe in his hand
Believing that the crops all are in
If I would stand
Ten by ten
For the wife, the folks, the kids
And all of the kin and the friends

Listen to me, blue river
Keep right on rolling
All along the shoreline
Keep us safe from the deep and the dark
We don't want to stray too far

Don′t want to stray too far
Don't want to stray too far
