James River Blues
I just heard the awful news
I could steer around the rocks

But they're bustin down the docks

James River Blues

That train came on through
And the works gotten slow
Now where's a boat man to go?

I think i'll flow on down
To richmond town
They dont need us anymore

Haulin freight from shore to shore
That big iron hauls much more
Than we ever could before.





I've seen good men goin wrong
Ive seen bad ones get it right
As that river rolls along

I'll be steppin out tonight
On the cool flow,
Floatin down

Down below
The bridge to the waters edge
From the ridge to the ledge

From the hills to the sea
I'll become a memory


James River Blues
