River, Stay ’Way From My Door

River stay away from my door

You're just a lonely little river
But I have heard somebody say
That someday you may
Squeeze my home away

You keep goin' your way
I'll keep goin' my way
River, river, stay 'way from my door!

I just got a cabin
Now you don't need my cabin
River, stay 'way from my door!

Don't come up any higher
I'm so all alone
Leave my bed and my fire
For that's all I'll ever own!

I ain't breakin' your heart
Don't start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from my door!

Oh lord, ain’t I been faithful
And worked damn hard in the sweat and sun
Oh lord, didn’t I come to you
Thank you for all you’ve done

I ain't breakin' your heart
Don't start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from my door!

River stay away from my door
