Sold Down The River Lyrics - Bill Monroe

Where is the love that you promised 'neath the pine? 

Gone like the flowers in the fall 

You crossed your heart, now you're double crossing mine 

You've been pretending after all 

I was sold down the river to a port of broken dreams 

Drifting in sorrow down the stream 

Sold down the river on a ship that won't return 

When it anchors in the sea of broken dreams 

I never dreamed that your love would grow so cold 

Hiding behind the rainbow's end 

You must be blind for the glitter of the gold 

Gold that can never find a friend 

I was sold down the river on the port of broken dreams 

Drifting in sorrow down the stream 

Sold down the river on a ship that won't return 

When it anchors in the sea of broken dreams 

You'll never know what it means to sit and cry 

After your heart is broken too 

Someday you'll learn and your soul will burn and die 

When some one double crosses you 

I was sold down the river to a port of broken dreams 

Drifting in sorrow down the stream 

Sold down the river on a ship that won't return 

When it anchors in the sea of broken dreams
