[Verse 1]
Sunday morning, I go running through a field
Jump across old Hogshead Creek down in the hollow
They're just waiting by the old well that's run dry
Sitting on a log that's lying by the willow
That's the one place that belongs to her and me
That's the place where papa never looked to find us
Underneath that willow tree, onlly place I wanna be
With a girl as sweet as sugar right beside me, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm just a little ol' boy with a river full of joy
'Cause I got myself a little girl that loves me
That river's deep and wide with my baby by my side
I got honey love to drown in with my baby

[Verse 2]
There was sugar, in her yellow Sunday dress
Singing to the willow that we carved our names in
Yelling to her, put my arms around her tight
Pull her closer and whisper, "Give your boy some sugar" (Hey, yeah, yeah)
Baby's kisses are like apple berry wine
And I tell her 'cause I never wanna lose her
[Chorus]
I'm just a little ol' boy with a river full of joy
'Cause I got myself a little girl that loves me, loves me, loves me, loves me
That river's deep and wide with my baby by my side
I got honey love to drown in with my baby

[Bridge]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)

[Verse 3]
Sun is glowing, that old sun that melts the sky
But my baby keeps the fire warm inside me (Hey, yeah, yeah)
And your father cooking food by Hogshead Creek
Supper's ready and he knows just where to find me, yeah
Ain't no secret, on that lovers willow tree
River caught the stream and mama's calling for me

[Chorus]
I'm just a little ol' boy with a river full of joy
'Cause I got myself a little girl that loves me, yeah
That river's deep and wide with my baby by my side
I got honey love to drown in with my baby
I'm just a little ol' boy with a river full of joy
'Cause I got myself a little girl who loves me, loves me, loves me
That river's deep and wide with my baby by my side
I got honey love to drown in with my baby
