The Oak Ridge Boys - Gonna take a lot of river

^CI ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no ^G7highway I aint' going nowhere feeling the way I ^Cdo

Because my baby's long gone and nothings going ^G7my way I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my ^Cblues

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken ^G7heart afloat Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long ^Cday

Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the ^G7Ohio Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues ^Caway

Well I wish I was tug boat pushing and pulling them barges ^G7along Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and ^Csteel

Take my loving and do me ^G7wrong I could work all day with nothing in the world to ^Cfeel

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken ^G7heart afloat Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long ^Cday

Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the ^G7Ohio Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues ^Caway

Is she in ^FNew Orleans is she a ^G#mCajun queen I ^A#wonder what she's doing ^Cnow

But if ^FI know her she's got ^G#rings and furs ^A#Struggling along some^Chow

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken ^G7heart afloat Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long ^Cday

Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the ^G7Ohio Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues ^Caway
