lirik lagu gillian welch – riverboat song (revival outtake)
[chorus]
thought i’d sing to the river
just cheer her on her way
she’s a blue old girl
that no one cares to travel on these days
[verse 1]
i know some say she’s lazy
she was fast enough before
half of every cotton crop
came floating past my door
[verse 2]
and there used to be a dance hall
when the gambling boat still ran
the air was full of lamp light
and the sound of dixieland
[verse 3]
but the river men are gone now
she’s a melancholy girl
she never sees the delta queen
or the alabama pearl
[verse 4]
and she looks like she’s lonely
as she tumbles to the sea
she’s headed down to mexico
to find some company
[verse 5]
well the only time i cursed her
was the spring of ’65
she rolled across my bean field
looking more than ten miles wide
[verse 6]
well i shoulda seen it comin’
as it does from time to time
women’s gonna make a fuss
when no one pays her any mind
[chorus]
so thought i’d sing to the river
just cheer her on her way
she’s a blue old girl
that no one cares to travel on these days
[outro]
she’s a blue old girl
that no one cares
to travel on these days
