Roger Whittaker - River Lady Lyrics
The day the river freezesIs the day it wont seem fairCause theyll come to get the River LadyAnd I dont think theyll careI know theyll scrape her paint offIn their same old foolish waysNow the people see the riverBut the old ships gone awayWater turns cold and gets ta freezinBefore you even know itThe old girls easinAway from her berthRound by the pointAnd out of our viewOff in the mistHer engines woundinLike on the banksThat old horns soundinA little goodbyeA little Ill do what I must doA little goodbyeA little Ill do what I must doA da da dum, dum, dum, da da da dum dumI know I will rememberWhen I cannot hear that hornThat would roll up by the mountainsAs she took us through the stormI know theyve got to take herBut I cant say I approveCause shes won so many battlesThat I hate to see her loseWater turns cold and gets ta freezinBefore you even know itThe old girls easinAway from her berthRound by the pointAnd out of our viewA little goodbyeA little Ill do, what I must doThe water turns coldAnd gets to freezinBefore you even know itThe old girls easinAway from her berthRound by the pointAnd out of our viewOff in the mistHer engines boundinLike on the banksThat old horns soundinA little goodbyeA little Ill doWhat I must doA little goodbyeA little Ill doWhat I must doDum da da da-dum
