Cold River Lyrics - Master Of Disaster - John Hiatt

Cold River 

Well He Packed Up His Suitcase 

'Cause The Deal Gone Down 

She Was Slipping On Her Stockings 

Lord It Made The Sweetest Sound 

There Was A Baby In The Reeds 

Along The River Outside Of Town 

As He Wound His Pocket Watch 

To Set Time Spinnin' 'Em All Around 

Wasn't Long They'd Be Forgetting 

This Old Rainy Texas Day 

Little Fella Wasn't Meant 

For This Old World Anyway

Gambling And Whoring 

Hiding From Plain View 

Tell Me Which One Of Us Rounders 

Would You Trust This Poor Child To 

You Just Roll On Cold River 

Wash Little Moses Down 

We've Got Business To Attend To 

In Chicago Town 

In Chicago Town 

Well They Rolled Out Of Austin 

On Some Kind Of Cattle Train 

She'd Been With Him For A Year 

Didn't Know His Second Name 

He Worked The Small Towns Hustling Nine Ball 

She Hooked The Truck Stops Too 

They Were Trying To Make Chicago 

Before The Winter Come Blowing Through 

Photos 

Some Trucker Sprang A Leak 

In California They Supposed 

Started Working Arizona 

Lord She Missed The Bloody Rose 

They Rambled Through The Southwest 

Making Money And Making Time 

But They Never Could Find No Help 

Not A Doctor, Not That Kind 

You Just Roll On Cold River 

Wash Little Moses Down 

We've Got Business To Attend To 

In Chicago Town 

In Chicago Town 

Some Women Love Their Babies 

Some Women Won't Have One 

Some Texas Woman Found Him 

And We're Still On The Run 

The Kind Of Life We're Living 

He'd Only Slow Us Down 

Ain't Good For Nothing Anyway 

Just Rambling Town To Town 

You Just Roll On Cold River 

Wash Little Moses Down 

We've Got Business To Attend To 

In Chicago Town 

In Chicago Town 

Well He Unpacked His Suitcase 

She Pulled Her Stockings Down 

Dreaming Up A Pool Hall 

And Shooting Up A Round 

She Thought About Tomorrow 

When The Money Rolled Around 

That Night They Slept Like Babies 

In Chicago Town
