River, Stay ’way From My Door Songtext
von Dave Brubeck

You′re just a lonely little river,
But I have heard somebody say
That someday you may
Squeeze my home away.

So roll along you lonely river
And find your way to the sea,
I don't bother you,
Don′t you bother me!


You keep goin' your way,
I'll keep goin′ my way,
River, stay ′way from my door!

I just got a cabin,
You don't need a cabin,
River, stay ′way from my door!

Don't come up any higher,
I′m so all alone.
Leave my bed and my fire,
That's all I′ll ever own!

I ain't breakin' your heart,
Don′t start breakin′ my heart,
River, stay 'way from my door!
