I was just the age of 16 when i first went on the drive
after 6 months hard labor at home i did arrive
i courted with a pretty girl twas her caused me to roam
now im a river driver and im far away from home
ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry
get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by
and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam
for i am a river driver and im far away from home
ill 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 am a river driver and im far away from home
ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry
get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by
and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam
for i am a river driver and im far away from home
when i am old and feeble and in my sickness lie
just wrap me up in a blanket and lay me down to die
just get a little blue bird to sing for me alone
for i am a river driver and im far away from home
ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry
get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by
and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam
for i am a river driver and im far away from home
ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry
get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by
and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam
for i am a river driver and im far away from home
for i am a river driver and im far away from home
