River Lady Lyrics

The day the river freezes
Is the day it won�t seem fair
�Cause they�ll come to get the River Lady
And I don�t think they�ll care

I know they�ll scrape her paint off
In their same old foolish ways
Now the people see the river
But the old ships gone away

Water turns cold and gets ta freezin�
Before you even know it
The old girl�s easin�
Away from her berth
Round by the point
And out of our view

Off in the mist
Her engine�s woundin�
Like on the banks
That old horn�s soundin�
A little goodbye
A little I�ll do what I must do

A little goodbye
A little I�ll do what I must do

A da da dum, dum, dum, da da da dum dum

I know I will remember
When I cannot hear that horn
That would roll up by the mountains
As she took us through the storm

I know they�ve got to take her
But I can�t say I approve
�Cause she�s won so many battles
That I hate to see her lose

Water turns cold and gets ta freezin�
Before you even know it
The old girl�s easin�
Away from her berth
Round by the point
And out of our view

A little goodbye
A little I�ll do, what I must do

The water turns cold
And gets to freezin�
Before you even know it
The old girl�s easin�
Away from her berth
�Round by the point
And out of our view

Off in the mist
Her engine�s boundin�
Like on the banks
That old horn�s soundin�
A little goodbye
A little I�ll do
What I must do

A little goodbye
A little I�ll do
What I must do

Dum da da da-dum...
