River written by M Yonts & David Allan Coe performed by David Allan Coe from the album The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy

^CRiver, you heard ^G7my first cry as a ^Cbaby ^FAnd, like my Mom, you ^Gsang me lulla^Cbies ^FYou knew my fishing ^Gpole When ^CI was eight y^Fears old And, ^Criver, you ^G7never told me ^Clies (chorus) ^GRiver, I can ^Fsee you from my ^Cwindow ^FYour muddy water ^Gmakes me feel ^Calone ^FRiver, you keep ^Gflowing Like you ^Cknow just where you're ^Fgoing But, ^Criver, will you ^G7ever take me ^Chome

River, I'm not proud of what I've done Somehow my fishing pole became a gun Through these prison bars I see That you're still running free But, river, I've got no place to run (repeat chorus 2x)
