EI was just the age of sixteen when I first went on the drive,
After sAix months hard labour, at hEome I did arrBive.
I cAourted with a pretty girl, t'was hEer caused me to C#mroam,
Now EI'm just a river dC#mriver and I'm G#mfar away from C#mhome.
I'll Eeat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry,
Get dArunk whenever I'm ready, get sEober by and Bby,
And Aif this river don't drown me, it's dEown I'll mean to rBoam,
For IE'm a river drAiver and I'm C#mfar away from hEome.
I'll build a lonesome castle upon some mountain high,
Where she can sit and view me as I go passing by
Where she can sit and view me as I go marching on,
For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.
I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry,
Get drunk whenever I'm ready, get sober by and by,
And if this river don't drown me, it's down I'll mean to roam,
For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.
