Deep Fork River Blues - Tom Paxton

Oh, the Deep Fork is a muddy river

Near my home, near my home

The Deep Fork is a muddy river

Near my home, near my home

And the Deep Fork is in Oklahoma

Near my home, near my home

The Deep Fork is in Oklahoma

Near my home, near my home

I can hear hounds baying on the river

Near my home, near my home

And I’ll surely have a rabbit for my dinner

Near my home, near my home

When the sun goes down, a man gets mighty lonesome

For his home, for his home

When the sun goes down, a man gets mighty lonesome

For his home, for his home

But I don’t have to stay away forever

I can go home, I can go home

I don’t have to stay away forever

I can go home, I can go home

Now the Deep Fork is a muddy river

Near my home, near my home

The Deep Fork is a muddy river

Near my home, near my home
