River Driver - Great Big Sea

I was just the age of 16 when i first went on the drive

after 6 months hard labor at home i did arrive

i courted with a pretty girl twas her caused me to roam

now im a river driver and im far away from home

ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry

get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by

and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam

for i am a river driver and im far away from home

ill build a lonesome castle upon some mountain high

where she can sit and view me as i go passing by

where she can sit and view me as i go marching on

for i am a river driver and im far away from home

ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry

get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by

and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam

for i am a river driver and im far away from home

when i am old and feeble and in my sickness lie

just wrap me up in a blanket and lay me down to die

just get a little blue bird to sing for me alone

for i am a river driver and im far away from home

ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry

get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by

and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam

for i am a river driver and im far away from home

ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry

get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by

and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam

for i am a river driver and im far away from home

for i am a river driver and im far away from home
