-------------------------------------
You keep goin' your way - I'll
keep goin' my way
(I'll keep goin' my way, you
keep rollin' your way)
River, stay 'way from the door
I just got (me) a cabin - you
don't need my (you'll never need that) cabin
River, stay 'way from the door
Don't (you) come up any higher -
I'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire -
that is all I own (and you can have that phone)
I ain't breakin' your heart -
don't (you) start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from the door
(Stay 'way, get 'way, roll 'way,
stay 'way)
(You dirty, old, muddy river,
you)
(River, stay 'way from the door)
