The River Songtext
von Bakermat

It′s quiet on the river this morning
Ain't nobody on the water but me
But the sun is comin′ on and it won't be long
'Fore there′s a little more wake comin′ in this creek

I put the lines out in the water in the morning
They'll be loaded by the end of the day
I put a trap or two in the wolf gut slough
They′ll be full if I'm lucky that way

It′s quiet on the river this morning
Ain't nobody on the water but me
But the sun is comin′ on and it won't be long
'Fore there′s a little more wake comin′ in this creek

I put thе lines out in the water in thе morning
They'll be loaded by the end of the day
I put a trap or two in the wolf gut slough
They′ll be full if I'm lucky that way


The river got outta the banks, sweet darlin′
Probably up into the roots by now
But there ain't no harrassin′ this ole fish assassin
I'm gonna get 'em in the boat somehow
We gonna fry a mess of fish in the evening
Me and whoever else is around
And that baby of mine might be mad at me but
Believe me, she′ll be coming on down

Making noise with the alligator boys
Twenty miles east of Gautier
Making noise with the alligator boys
Twenty miles east of Gautier

Making noise with the alligator boys
Twenty miles east of Gautier
Making noise with the alligator boys
Twenty miles east of Gautier
Making noise with the alligator boys
Twenty miles east of Gautier

It′s quiet on the river this morning

They'll be loaded by the end of the day

Making noise with the alligator boys
Twenty miles east of Gautier
Making noise with the alligator boys
Twenty miles east of Gautier
Making noise with the alligator boys
Twenty miles east of Gautier
