Now EI'm just a river dC♯mriver and I'm G♯mfar away from C♯mhome.

I'll Eeat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry,

Get dArunk whenever I'm ready, get sEober by and Bby,

And Aif this river don't drown me, it's dEown I'll mean to rBoam,

For IE'm a river drAiver and I'm C♯mfar away from hEome.

I'll 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'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.

I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry,

Get drunk whenever I'm ready, get sober by and by,

And if this river don't drown me, it's down I'll mean to roam,

For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.
