Ferlin Husky - Flat River Mom lyrics

rate me

Flat River Mow Flat River Mow it's been a many a day since I washed her waters flow

If I ain't got the money to pay I'm gonna walk every step of the way

Cause I gotta go back to Flat River Mow

The clothes on my back have been friends with the ground too long

And my foolish dream of wealth and fame is gone

Each day the hand of failure wakes me up at the break of dawn

And tells me to go back home to Flat River Mow

Flat River Mow Flat River Mow...

[ guitar ]

I wonder if Mary's heart has ventured and grown fond

I wonder if the baby calls her mom

At night when the city lights and the neon signs come on

They don't shine like the moon back home over Flat River Mow

Flat River Mow Flat River Mow...

Flat River Mow Flat River Mow...
