Lefty Frizzel - James River lyrics

rate me

James River is long and it's narrow it's rocky and wide and deep

The women are dark eyed beauties and the men don't ever sleep

A dark eyed bundle of a woman stands waving on the bank I see

The dangers are plenty but the pleasures are many

I know James River man will ever stop me

So when the sun goes down and I sneak around trouble is everywhere

My boat head the bank so they can see no James River man will ever stop me

[ banjo ]

The holes in my boat are many hot licks flyin' again

The James River boys're jealous they all hate the mountain man

There's a sweet bundle...

I know James River man will ever stop me I know James River man will ever stop me

I know James River man will ever stop me
