Golden River Lyrics - Hank Snow

I hate to see night shadows fall 

I hate to see a moon above 

For it brings me dreams of days gone by 

When my darling, Lola Lee 

Strolled along the shore with me 

And we watched the golden river glide on by 

Golden River, golden river you took my love from me 

On your waves of golden hue you carried her with you 

And you broke my heart a million, million ways 

Now I sit and wonder why 

I feel so blue and want to cry 

While I watch the moon climb slowly in the sky 

It was on a night like this 

When she gave me her last kiss 

Climbed in her birch canoe and said goodbye 

Golden River, golden river you took my love from me 

On your waves of golden hue you carried her with you 

And you broke my heart a million, million ways
