Gordon Bok - Astoria bar

Well, it's ^Anot very far to As^Dtoria's Bar But a ^Gvery long ^Djourney it can ^Abe You can ^Dstart at the mouth of the ^Gmighty blue river And ^Dend at the ^Abottom of the ^Dsea

And the ^ARiver still shines and ^Dshimmers in the light As it ^Gdid in our ^Dgrandfathers' ^Aday When they ^Drowed all night and ^Gfished in the morning And ^Dlived in ^AWillapa ^DBay

When the ^Atide is rough, so ^Dvery, very rough So ^Grough that you ^Dcannot ^Astand It'll ^Ddrive the fish right ^Ginto the nets And the ^Dboats right ^Ainto the ^Dsand

And the ^ARiver still shines and ^Dshimmers in the light As it ^Gdid in our ^Dgrandfathers' ^Aday When they ^Drowed all night and ^Gfished in the morning And ^Dlived in ^AWillapa ^DBay

In the ^Amist and the rain, the ^Dlabour and the pain We ^Gknow what the ^Dfishing here is ^Aworth It is ^Dworth all the gold, when they ^Gsuck 'f#m from the hold And ^Dworth all the ^Atreasures of the ^Dearth

And the ^ARiver still shines and ^Dshimmers in the light As it ^Gdid in our ^Dgrandfathers' ^Aday When they ^Drowed all night and ^Gfished in the morning And ^Dlived in ^AWillapa ^DBay

Now it's ^Anot very far to As^Dtoria's Bar But a ^Gvery long ^Djourney it can ^Abe You can ^Dstart at the mouth of the ^Gmighty blue river And ^Dend at the ^Abottom of the ^Dsea

And the ^ARiver still shines and ^Dshimmers in the light As it ^Gdid in our ^Dgrandfathers' ^Aday When they ^Drowed all night and ^Gfished in the morning And ^Dlived in ^AWillapa ^DBay When they rowed all night and ^Gfished in the morning And ^Dlived in ^AWillapa ^DBay
