Well I first saw her on the Caney Fork River
They said her daddy'd rather shoot her than ever forgive her
Falling for one of the Macallum clan
But what do you expect heâs a feuding man
Every day before breakfast her mother said daughter
Itâs time you got your bucket and went to fetch water
And sheâd skip down the path to the cool dark eddy
That fed into the Caney Fork River
Caney Fork River
Caney Fork River
Water everywhere itâs a taker and a giver
She touched it to her body
She touched it to her lips
How I wish I was the Caney Fork River
Well thereâs no use thinking that you wonât get caught
Because your lucky streak's been running on
I couldnât swim so I started across
Hangin on to the branches of a hollow log
Well the log struck a rock and I went to the bottom
And my body washed away late last autumn
Spirit still lingers in the cool dark water
That washes the skin of Fergusonâs daughter
Caney Fork River
Caney Fork River
Water everywhere itâs a taker and a giver
She touched it to her body
She touched it to her lips
How I wish I was the Caney Fork River x2
