[ dobro - guitar ] You never have fallen in love or looked into blue eyes But you touch everything you see and you've heard all the lies You're never gonna know what loneliness and heartaches are all about Cause old river lucky lucky old river River anytime you get to feeling blue you just head on south
Old river lucky lucky old river How many times have I wished that I could be like you You roll on to the music no matter what song they sing And old river lucky lucky old river River everyday you just lay around Memphis and New Orleans
