the stillwater hobos - french broad river lyrics

Loading...

last morning i did tread the creek
thinking how my boots do leak
‘twas then that i was fain to speak
to all you naiads dear

well i’ll swim the french broad river
and become a little thinner
when i lay me down to dinner
at dixie’s house to dine

well i’ll order in the brandy
and wine and summer shandy
a stronger braver man i’ll be
for thee and me and mine

a year ago today i sprung
from stone to rock aye every one
amid the river wash and run
with my sweat+heart near

the river+rocks did hold their fire
and with them my true love’s desire
and johnny if you’ll be my squire
i’ll take you as my dear

but j+n+s meant to bind the lees
with a tether of ice about the knees
and when the river walk did freeze
my true love to me sang
last year i drank you down so wild
when you were cordial as a child
a tasty draft of bitter+and+mild
the glass it loudly rang

had i the c+cky red+breast song
to whistle dixie all night long
for all the world that’s suffered wrong
and all you naiads dear
