The song The River Driver is performed by Great Big Sea in the album named The Hard & The Easy in the year 2005 .
I was just the age of sixteen
When I first went on the drive
After six months hard labour
At home I did arrive
And courted with a pretty girl
'Twas her caused me to roam
Now I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home
CHORUS:
I'll eat when I am hungry
And I'll drink when I am dry
Get drunk whenever I'm ready
Get sober by and by
And if the river don't drown me
It's down I'll need to roam
For I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home
I'll build a lonesome castle
Upon some mountain high
Where she can sit an view me
As I go pa*sin' by
Where she can sit an view me
As I go marchin' on
For I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home
CHORUS
When I am old and feeble
And in my sickness lie
Just wrap me up in a blanket
And lay me down to die
Just get a little bluebird
To sing for me alone
For I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home
CHOTUS x2
For I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home
