The River Driver

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
