Tom Paxton
Deep Fork River Blues (1962)

[Verse 1]
Now, the Deep Fork is a muddy river
Near my home, near my home
The Deep Fork is a muddy river
Near my home, near my home

[Verse 2]
And the Deep Fork is in Oklahoma
Near my home, near my home
The Deep Fork is in Oklahoma
Near my home, near my home

[Verse 3]
I can hear hounds bayin' on the river
Near my home, near my home
And I'll surely have a rabbit for my dinner
Near my home, near my home

[Verse 4]
When the sun goes down, a man gets awful lonesome
For his home, for his home
When the sun goes down, a man gets awful lonesome
For his home, for his home

[Verse 5]
But I don't have to stay away forever
I can go home, I can go home
I don't have to stay away forever
I can go home, I can go home
[Verse 1]
Now, the Deep Fork is a muddy river
Near my home, near my home
The Deep Fork is a muddy river
Near my home, near my home
