Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Lost River Lyrics
Theres a lost river that flowsIn a valley where no on e goes,Where the wild waters rushRumbles deep in the hush.Gone far from there now,Lord Ill be back somehowTo where the lost river windsIn the shadow of the pinesOh, lost river, now Im coming backTo the pot-belly stove, where the firewoods all stackedOh quebec girl, go with me,Oh my bell, my fleur de lis,Where the lost river windsIn the shadow of the pinesNow every body knowsWhere that lost river flowsIts someplace hes lostBehind bridges that hes crossedWell, hed like to return,But his bridges are all burnedAnd hes much too far downTo return to higher groundOh, lost river, now Im coming backTo the pot-belly stove, where the firewoods all stackedOh quebec girl, go with me,Oh my bell, my fleur de lis,Where the lost river windsIn the shadow of the pinesOh lost river, far over ther ridgeNow is it too late for me to build me a new bridge?To the bright golden timeWhen her love was still mineAnd the world was still wildLike the heart of a childOh, lost river, now Im coming backTo the pot-belly stove, where the firewoods all stackedOh quebec girl, go with me,Oh my bell, my fleur de lis,Where the lost river windsIn the shadow of the pinesWhere the lost river windsIn the shadow of the pines
