Jimmie Driftwood - You Can't Keep From Lovin' The Buffalo lyrics

(Jimmy Driftwood)

There was a young brave on the Buffalo River

He fell in love with the queen of the hills

She stole his heart and she stole his liver

They got married and he never did forgive her

Loved her in the dark, loved her in the light

Loved her in the day and loved her ev'ry night

Sat that time on a hillbilly's nose?

You can't keep loving on the River Buffalo

You can't keep loving on the River Buffalo

-Solo-

A man and a woman in Kalamazoo

The doctor said, your love life's through

Away to the Ozarks, they did go

And they loved both better on the River Buffalo

Love in the dark, love in the light

Love ev'ry day and love ev'ry night

Sat that time on a city Billy's nose?

You can't keep loving on the River Buffalo

You can't keep loving on the River Buffalo

-Solo-

Now they made her a national river

The Buffalo belongs to the lovers of the world

When your boat begins to rock and your hearts begin to quiver

Old Mother Nature is ready to deliver

Love in the dark, love in the light

Love ev'ry day and love ev'ry night

The folk who live in the Ozark's snow

You can't keep loving on the River Buffalo

You can't keep loving on the River Buffalo

-Solo-
