River, Stay 'Way From My Door Songtext
von Paul Robeson

You′ll keep going your way
I'll keep going my way
River stay away from my door

I just got a cabin
You don′t need my cabin
River stay away from my door

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

I ain′t breaking your heart
Don't start breaking my heart
River stay away from my door


You′re just a lonely little river
But I have heard somebody say
That someday you may
Sweep my home away
So roll along you lonely river
And find your way out to the sea
I don't bother you
Don′t you bother me

You'll keep going your way
I′ll keep going my way
River stay away from my door

I just got a cabin
You don't need my cabin
River stay away from my door

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

I ain't breaking your heart
Don′t start breaking my heart
River stay away from my door
