Oak Ridge Boys, The - Gonna Take A Lot Of River (Mississippi, Monongahela) Lyrics
I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
I ain't going nowhere feeling the way I do.
Because my baby's long gone and nothings going my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues.
To keep this broken heart afloat,
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long day,
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio,
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
Well, I wish I was tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn't be no women who could ever take my loving and do me wrong
It’s gonna take a lot of river,
To keep this broken heart afloat,
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long day,
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio,
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
Is she in New Orleans
Is she a cajun queen
I wonder what she's doing now
But if I know her she's got rings and furs,
Struggling along somehow
Struggling along somehow.
It’s gonna take a lot of river,
To keep this broken heart afloat,
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long day,
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio,
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
It’s gonna take a lot of river,
To keep this broken heart afloat,
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long day,
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio,
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
It’s gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
