I’ve lived by the river all my life
Don’t know nothin’ but toil and strife
Can’t go home again
Can’t go home again
Well east and west the highway roll
Lord have mercy on my poor soul
I miss my blue eyed baby oh
My pretty little blue eyed baby oh
Well that river’s deep and that river’s wide
The devil stands on every side
Can’t go home again
Can’t go home again
That pretty little girl I love so well
She goes to heaven Lord I go to hell
Can’t go home again
Can’t go home again
