Blue River Lyrics - Eric Andersen

Dm F G Bb 

Old man go to the river 

C A7 Dm F7 

To drop his bale of woes 

Bb G F Dm 

He could go if he wanted to 

Bb G7 F Dm G7 

It's just a boat to row you know listen to me now 

F Bb F C 

Blue River keep right on rollin 

A7 Dm F7 

All along the shore line 

Bb C7 F C Dm 

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark 

Bb F Bb F 

Cause we don't want to stray too far 

Dm F G Bb 

Spent the day with my old dog Mo 

C A7 Dm F7 

Down an old dirt road 

Bb G F Dm 

What he's thinking lord I don't know 

Bb G F Dm 

But for him bet the time must go so slow 

G 

Don't you know 

F Bb F C 

Blue River keep right on rollin 

A7 Dm F7 

All along the shore line 

Bb C7 F C Dm 

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark 

Bb F Bb F 

Cause we don't want to stray too far 

Harmonica break 

Dm F G Bb 

Young Rob stands with his ax in his hand 

C A7 Dm F7 

Believin that the crops are in 

Bb G F Dm 

Fire wood stacked ten by ten 

Bb G 

For the wife the folks the kids 

F Dm G7 

All of the kin and a friend listen to me now 

F Bb F C 

Blue River keep right on rollin 

A7 Dm F7 

All along the shore line 

Bb C7 F C Dm 

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark 

Bb F Bb F 

Cause we don't want to stray too far
