James River Songtext
von Lefty Frizzell

James River is long and it′s narrow it's rocky and wide and deep
The women are dark eyed beauties and the men don′t ever sleep
A dark eyed bundle of a woman stands waving on the bank I see
The dangers are plenty but the pleasures are many
I know James River man will ever stop me
So when the sun goes down and I sneak around trouble is everywhere
My boat head the bank so they can see no James River man will ever stop me [ banjo ]
The holes in my boat are many hot licks flyin' again
The James River boys're jealous they all hate the mountain man
There′s a sweet bundle...
I know James River man will ever stop me I know James River man will ever stop me
I know James River man will ever stop me
