New River Blues

As the New River flows in the night

Somewhere honey some old hog is stomping on the bog

Like a free, like a free stream of light

My heart jumps straight to you tonight

'Cause you're pretty, Lordy knows, and you're fair

And you seem like to kind of linger there

Like a hot, like a hot burning flame

My heart jumps straight to you again

Well I know, Lordy knows, that you're young

And the New River flows 'round the turn

And the cane fish are fishing in the shoal

My heart jumps straight right out of my soul

Yeah catfish, catfish on the bottom

I'm up here with the blues, Lordy knows that I got 'em

I hope the moonbeams shine down to you

So you can see a-of it the whole night through

As the New River flows in the night

Somewhere honey some old hog is stomping on the bog

Like a free, like a free stream of light

My heart jumps straight to you tonight
