Willie Nelson - River Boy Lyrics
I was born and raised on the riverIt's the only life that I knowPeople 'round here have put a name on meAnd I hear it wherever I goThey call me river boy, river boyGood for nothin' river boyThis old world don't hold a whole lot of joyWhen you're nothin' but a river boyI do a lot of fishin' on the riverTo make my livin' you seeWhen I take my catch to the market placeThe people call out to meAnd they say, river boy, hey river boyYou got any fish today there, river boyI sell my ware, but nobody caresAbout the feelin's of the river boyThere's a pretty girl works at the market placeI see her there everydayBut when I try to talk to herI can hear her papa sayCome away from that River boy, he's a river boyNothin' but riff-raff, them river boysNo girl of mine is gonna waste her timeOn a good for nothin' river boySo I head my boat back up the riverBack to my old fishin' placeI'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflowFrom the tears a-fallin' down my faceI'm nothin' but a river boy, river boyA good for nothin' river boyThis old world don't hold a whole lot of joyWhen you're nothin' but a river boyRiver boy, river boyA good for nothin' river boyRiver boy [fade]
