Blue River - Judy Collins, Eric Andersen

Old man go to the river

To drop his bale of woes

He could go if he wanted to

It’s just a boat to row you know

listen to me now

Blue River keep right on rollin

All along the shore line

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark

Cause we don’t want to stray too far

Spent the day with my old dog Mo

Down an old dirt road

What he’s thinking lord I don’t know

But for him bet the time must go so slow

Don’t you know

Blue River keep right on rollin

All along the shore line

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark

Cause we don’t want to stray too far

Harmonica break

Young Rob stands with his ax in his hand

Believin that the crops are in

Fire wood stacked ten by ten

For the wife the folks the kids

All of the kin and a friend listen to me now

Blue River keep right on rollin

All along the shore line

Keep us safe from the deep and the dark

Cause we don’t want to stray too far
