Lazy River

(アルバム： New Freedom Blues - 2018)

A thousand miles from home the red dirt stains my feet
Carving out a living on a mountainside so steep
Promised all the things money could own
Now the only thing he wants is to be gone

Rise up with the morning, soon to be gone
Bound for the Gulf, then on down to Galveston
Worry hold him down, it's hard to toe the line
Tell the Captain, "Farewell, adiós"

Crystal Springs sparkle and shine
Gold in the banks, buried in time
Leave the rushing water, lazy river roll
Swanee, oh Swanee, Swanee take me home

If what he said ain't true, it's lies he would tell
Coins lost long ago, further on down south
Boats on the river, shallow water, run aground
Left fortune for those who desire

[?] lays a river, never worked a day
'Til I saw mine slowly fade away
To be a lonesome river, I life I'd even choose
'Cause lonely is the life that we're all living

Crystal Springs sparkle and shine
Gold in the banks, buried in time
Leave the rushing water, lazy river roll
Swanee, oh Swanee, Swanee take me home

Crystal Springs sparkle and shine
Gold in the banks, buried in time
Leave the rushing water, lazy river roll
Swanee, oh Swanee, Swanee take me home
