Living on the River Lyrics by Gordon Bok, Ann Mayo Muir, Ed Trickett

All Shall Be Well Again

0

Down around the bend by the railroad bridge
Just wading through shallows where the crayfish live
Over by the cotton bale the catfish bite
They'll be swimming in a skillet before tonight
Living on the river was nice and easy
People on the river just take their time
Wind in the summer was warm and breezy
Wind in the winter it cut like ice
Off down the hill on a winter's night
To go skating on the river in the cold moonlight
There's an old wood stove and a hardwood floor
And you can sit and take it easy while your feet get warm
Living on the river was nice and easy
People on the river just take their time
Wind in the summer was warm and breezy
Wind in the winter it cut like ice
Down around the bend where the blackbird sings
Over by the fountain there's a crystal spring
Back in the shallows where the watercress grows
Sweet spring water runs clear and cold
Living on the river was nice and easy
People on the river just take their time
Wind in the summer was warm and breezy
Wind in the winter it cut like ice
Up in the morning at four o'clock
Meet you on the landing at Johnson's Dock
Drifting on the river till the sun comes up
Drinking hot black coffee from an old tin cup
Living on the river was nice and easy
People on the river just take their time
Wind in the summer was warm and breezy
Wind in the winter it cut like ice
Living on the river was nice and easy
People on the river just take their time
Wind in the summer was warm and breezy
Wind in the winter it cut like ice
[Instrumental]
Down around the bend by the railroad bridge
Just wading through shallows where the crayfish live
Over by the cotton bale the catfish bite
They'll be swimming in a skillet before tonight
Living on the river was nice and easy
People on the river just take their time
Wind in the summer was warm and breezy
Wind in the winter it cut like ice
