Misery river



Oh Misery river
Won't you take me along
Oh Misery river
Carry me back home where I belong


Well I was a fool to have let that girl
Lead me so far from my home
She stole all the love in my heart
And all she left me was alone
So Misety river, I'll come back to you
It's stranger, you're my only friend
Tonight you'll be driftin' down to Dixie
So please take me back home again


Oh Misery river
I want you to take me along
Oh Misery river
Carry me back home where I belong


She left me in a land full of strangers
Who don't care if I live or die
And even the man in the moon don't smile
As he did in that old southern sky
So Misery river, have a little mercy
My heart has been broken and torn
Let me wash my wounds in your waters
Take me back to the land where I was born


Oh Misery river
Why don't you take me along
Oh Misery river
Carry me back home where I belong
