[Verse 1]
It's been Frainy and wCindy for Gseven daysAm straight
I've been Fgoing to bed eCarly and Ggetting up Amlate
I lFook out my wCindow and it's oGne shade of gAmray
Oh, my wFife and my kCids don't have mGuch to sAmay
A mFan out of wCork only gGets in the wAmay
[Verse 2]
Oh, the Friver is rCising now, Gone inch an hAmour
And tFonight we'll be lCucky if we sGtill have poAmwer
But I got a fFlashlight, an oCil lamp and IG'm ready to Amgo
And a fFresh set of bCatteries for my sGon's radAmio
If the dFam really bCreaks, least we'll kGnow where to Amgo E7
[Chorus]
AmRiver take Cme, Am river tCake me
AmRiver take Cme fFar from CtrouGble Amtime
AmRiver take Cme, Am river taCke me

[Verse 3]
If FI had a Cboat you Gknow what I'd Amdo?
I'd float Fme and my fCamily down to BGaton RAmouge
I wouldn't wFork in no fCactory, I'd Glive off the lAmand
And lFive within mCeans of my oGwn two hAmands
Dance SFaturday nCights to a ZGydeco bAmand E7
