RIVER BOY
2
WRITER FRED CARTER
3
I was born and raised on the river
4
It's the only life that I know
5
People 'round here have put a name on me
6
And I hear it wherever I go
7
They call me river boy, river boy
8
Good for nothin' river boy
9
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
10
When you're nothin' but a river boy
11
I do a lot of fishin' on the river
12
To make my livin' you see
13
When I take my catch to the market place
14
The people call out to me
15
And they say, river boy, hey river boy
16
You got any fish today there, river boy
17
I sell my ware, but nobody cares
18
About the feelin's of the river boy
19
There's a pretty girl works at the market place
20
I see her there everyday
21
But when I try to talk to her
22
I can hear her papa say
23
Come away from that River boy, he's a river boy
24
Nothin' but riff-raff, them river boys
25
No girl of mine is gonna waste her time
26
On a good for nothin' river boy
27
So I head my boat back up the river
28
Back to my old fishin' place
29
I'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflow
30
From the tears a-fallin' down my face
31
I'm nothin' but a river boy, river boy
32
A good for nothin' river boy
33
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
34
When you're nothin' but a river boy
35
River boy, river boy
36
A good for nothin' river boy
37
River boy [fade]
