River Driver

I was just the age of 16 when i first went on the drive
 after 6 months hard labor at home i did arrive
 i courted with a pretty girl twas her caused me to roam
 now im a river driver and im far away from home
 ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry
 get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by
 and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam
 for i am a river driver and im far away from home
 ill build a lonesome castle upon some mountain high
 where she can sit and view me as i go passing by
 where she can sit and view me as i go marching on
 for i am a river driver and im far away from home
 ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry
 get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by
 and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam
 for i am a river driver and im far away from home
 when i am old and feeble and in my sickness lie
 just wrap me up in a blanket and lay me down to die
 just get a little blue bird to sing for me alone
 for i am a river driver and im far away from home
 ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry
 get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by
 and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam
 for i am a river driver and im far away from home
 ill eat when i am hungry and ill drink when i am dry
 get drunk whenever im ready get sober by and by
 and if this river dont drown me this town ill mean to roam
 for i am a river driver and im far away from home
 for i am a river driver and im far away from home
