Gonna Take A Lot Of River
(Mississippi, Monongahela, Ohio)
Composer(s): Mark Henley; John Kurhajetz
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys
I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
I aint' going nowhere feeling the way I do
Because my baby's long gone and nothing's going my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
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 a 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 that could ever take my loving and do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
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
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
