New River Blues

As the new river flows in the night

Somewhere honey, some old hog

Is stomping on the bog

Like a free, like a free stream of light

My heart jumps straight to you tonight



Cause you're pretty, lordy knows, and you're fair

And you seem like you kind...of linger there

Like a hot, like a hot burnin' flame

My heart jumps straight to you again



For I knew, lordy knows that you're there

And the New River flow, flows round the town

And the king-fisher fishin' in the shoal

My heart jumps straight right out of my soul



And a catfish, catfish on the bottom

I'm up here with the blues, lordy knows that I got 'em

I hope the moonbeams shine down to you

So you can sing away the whole night through



As the New River flows in the night

Somewhere honey, some ol' hog

Is stomping on the bog

Like a free, like a free stream of light

My heart jumps straight to you tonight

Oh, my heart jumps straight to you tonight
