Jimmy Dean - Old Rivers Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • How old was I when I first seen Old Rivers
  • I can't remember when he weren't around
  • That old fellow he did a heap of work he spent his whole life walkin' plowed ground
  • He had the one roomed shack not far from us well we's about as poor as him
  • He had one old mule he used to call Midnight I'd tread along after then
  • He used to plow them rows just straight and deep and I'd come along behind
  • Bustin' up plows with my own bare feet Old Rivers he was a friend of mine
  • The sun had get high and that old mule he'd work Old Rivers he'd finally say whoa
  • He'd wipe his brow and he'd laid back on them reins
  • He'd talk about that place he's wanna go
  • He used to say one of these days I'm gonna climb that mountain
  • I'm gonna walk up there among them Clouds
  • Where the cotton's high and the corns're growin' and there ain't no fields to plow
  • I got a letter today it's from the folks back home
  • They're all doin' fine the crop's a little dry
  • Mom said down near the end, you heard Old Rivers died
  • Sittin' here now on this new plowed earth just tryin' find a little shade
  • Well sun's beatin' down cross them fields now I can see that mule Old Rivers and me
  • I hear 'em sayin' one of these days...
  • With the sun beaitin' down cross them fields (I see) that mule Old Rivers and me
