James River Blues
I just heard the awful news
I could steer around the rocks
But they ' re bustin down the docks
James River Blues
That train came on through
And the works gotten slow
Now where ' s a boat man to go
I think i ' ll flow on down
To richmond town
They don ' t need us anymore
Haulin freight from shore to shore
That big iron hauls much more
Than we ever could before
I ' ve seen good men goin wrong
Ive seen bad ones get it right
As that river rolls along
I ' ll be steppin out tonight
On 120870,-39)the cool flow
Floatin down
Down below
The bridge to the waters edge
From the ridge to the ledge
From the hills to the sea
I ' ll become a memory
James River Blues
