Song Lyrics
and they say
this old world don t hold a whole lot of joy
But when i try to talk to her, he s a river boy
good for nothing river boy
Hey river boy, i m afraid this old river s gonna overflow Boy, i see her there everyday
And i hear it wherever i go, i can hear her papa say Boy, when you re nothing but a river boy
A good for nothing river boy, so i head my boat back up the river, when you re nothing but a river boy
People round here have put a name on me, this old world don t hold a whole lot of joy Nelson, i m nothing but a river boy
he s a river boy
and they say
from the tears a-falling down my face
Them river boys, come away from that river boy
them river boys
i can hear her papa say
when i take my catch to the market place
People round here have put a name on me, a good for nothing river boy
I m nothing but a river boy, when you re nothing but a river boy River, a good for nothing river boy
I was born and raised on the river, a good for nothing river boy, back to my old fishing place
To make my living you see, i m nothing but a river boy, but nobody cares
On a good for nothin river boy, they call me river boy, you got any fish today there
Them river boys, good for nothing river boy
