Chords
C
I was just the age of sixteen when I first went on the drive,
F C G
After six months hard labour, at home I did arrive.
F C Am
I courted with a pretty girl, t'was her caused me to roam,
C Am Em Am
Now I'm just a river driver and I'm far away from home.
C
I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry,
F C G
Get drunk whenever I'm ready, get sober by and by,
F C G
And if this river don't drown me, it's down I'll mean to roam,
C F Am C
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 and view me as I go passing by
Where she can sit and view me as I go marching on,
For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.
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 this river don't drown me, it's down I'll mean to roam,
For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.
