King Of The River - Riders In The Sky

Listen to the thunder

Hear the winds roar

Hurricane’s a-coming

Board up the door

Load up the cannon

Call up the law

Worstest calamity

That folks never saw

Girls run and hide

Brave men shiver

I’m Mike Fink

King of the river

Oh, he’s a ring-tail roarer

And a tough old alligator

Oh, he’s a bull-nosed bully

And a real depopulator

Oh, what a deep divin catfish

That always come up dry

He’s gonna live forever

Born too mean to die

Dug the whole Ohio

With my big toe

Filled her up with water

Made the critter flow

Stomped out the valley

Scraped up the ridge

Wade across the river

'Cause I don’t trust no bridge

And then an earthquake

Make mountains quiver

I’m Mike Fink

King of the river

Oh he can uptalk a lawyer

Oh, he can upchop thunder

And her son say that he can

Oh, what a fightin' devil

He’ll spit right in your eye

He’s gonna live forever

Born too mean to die

(Born too mean to die)
