Gillian Welch - Riverboat song

Thought ^DI'd sing to the river Just ^Gcheer her on her ^Dway ^DShe's a blue old girl ^DThat no one cares to travel on ^Athese days

I know ^Dsome say she's lazy She was ^Gfast enough be^Dfore ^DHalf of every cotton crop Came f^Aloating past my ^Ddoor

And there ^Gused to be a dance hall When the gambling boat still ^Dran The ^Eair was full of lamp light And the sound of dixie ^Aland

^DBut the river met her god now? She's a me^Glancholy g^Dirl ^DShe never sees the delta queen Or the A^Elabama ^Apearl

And she ^Dlooks like she's lonely As she ^Gtumbles to the ^Dsea ^DShe's headed down to Mexico To ^Afind some com^Dpany

^GWell the only time I cursed her ^GWas the spring of '6^D5 She ^Erolled across my bean field ^ELooking more than ten miles ^Awide

Well ^DI shoulda seen it comin' As it ^Gdoes from time to ^Dtime ^DWomen's gonna make a fuss ^DWhen no one p^Eays her any m^Aind

So thought ^DI'd sing to the river Just c^Gheer her on her ^Dway ^DShe's a blue old girl ^Dthat no one cares to ^Atravel on these ^Ddays

^DShes a blue old girl that ^Dno one cares to ^Atravel on these ^Ddays
