Never River Blues Songtext
von Michael Hurley

As the New River flows in the night
Somewhere honey some old hog is stomping on the bog
Like a free, like a free stream of light
My heart jumps straight to you tonight

′Cause you're pretty, Lordy knows, and you′re fair
And you seem like to kind of linger there
Like a hot, like a hot burning flame
My heart jumps straight to you again


Well I know, Lordy knows, that you're young
And the New River flows 'round the turn
And the cane fish are fishing in the shoal
My heart jumps straight right out of my soul

Yeah catfish, catfish on the bottom
I′m up here with the blues, Lordy knows that I got ′em
I hope the moonbeams shine down to you
So you can see a-of it the whole night through

As the New River flows in the night
Somewhere honey some old hog is stomping on the bog
Like a free, like a free stream of light
My heart jumps straight to you tonight
