Lost River Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

There's a lost river that flows 

In a valley where no on e goes, 

Where the wild water's rush 

Rumbles deep in the hush. 

Gone far from there now, 

Lord I'll be back somehow 

To where the lost river winds 

In the shadow of the pines 

Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back 

To the pot-belly stove, where the firewood's all stacked 

Oh Quebec girl, go with me, 

Oh my bell, my fleur de lis, 

Where the lost river winds 

In the shadow of the pines

Now every body knows 

Where that lost river flows 

It's someplace he's lost 

Behind bridges that he's crossed 

Well, he'd like to return, 

But his bridges are all burned 

And he's much too far down 

To return to higher ground 

Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back 

To the pot-belly stove, where the firewood's all stacked 

Oh Quebec girl, go with me, 

Oh my bell, my fleur de lis, 

Where the lost river winds 

In the shadow of the pines

Oh lost river, far over the ridge 

Now is it too late for me to build me a new bridge? 

To the bright golden time 

When her love was still mine 

And the world was still wild 

Like the heart of a child 

Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back 

To the pot-belly stove, where the firewood's all stacked 

Oh Quebec girl, go with me, 

Oh my bell, my fleur de lis, 

Where the lost river winds 

In the shadow of the pines 

Where the lost river winds 

In the shadow of the pines
