[Verse 1]
Blue river
It can't be found on any map that I know
But it's the place where lonely lovers all go
To cry their tears

Blue river
It winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from loving someone in vain
Like I loved you, and baby I still do

[Verse 2]
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feeling so low
But I gotta go

Blue river
Because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Crying over you, by the river of blue, oh yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feeling so low
But I got to go
Blue river
Because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Crying over you, by the river of blue, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feeling so low
But I got to go

Blue river
Because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Crying over you, by the river of blue
