River, Stay Away From My Door

You keep going your way
I'll keep going my way
River, stay away from my door

I just got a cabin
You don't need my cabin
River, stay away from my door

Don't come up any higher
I'm so all alone
Leave my bed and my fire
That's all I own

I ain't breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
River, stay away from my door

Oh lord, ain't I been faithful
And worked damn hard in the sweat and sun
Oh lord, didn't I pray to you
And thanked you for all you've done
Oh lord, you made the river
But won't you try to remember that you made me too
Oh lord, hear me pray to you
And make the river hear my plea

I'll keep breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
River, stay away from my door
Oh river, stay away from my door
River, stay away from my door
