Golden River - 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 broke my heart a million million ways

Break (guitar)

Now I sit and wonder why

I feel so blue and want to cry

While the moon climbs slowly in the sky

It was on a night like this

When she gave me her last kiss

Climbed in her birch canoe and sailed away

Golden river, golden river

You took my love from me

On your waves of golden hue

You carried her with you

And broke my heart a million million ways
