I was just the age of sixteen
When i first went on the drive
After six months hard labour
At home i did arrive
And courted with a pretty girl
'twas her caused me to roam
Now i'm a river driver and i'm far away from home

Chorus:
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 the river don't drown me
It's down i'll need to roam
For i'm a river driver and i'm far away from home

I'll build a lonesome castle
Upon some mountain high
Where she can sit an view me
As i go passin' by
Where she can sit an view me
As i go marchin' on
For i'm a river driver and i'm far away from home

Chorus

When i am old and feeble
And in my sickness lie
Just wrap me up in a blanket
And lay me down to die
Just get a little bluebird
To sing for me alone
For i'm a river driver and i'm far away from home

Chotus x2

For i'm a river driver and i'm far away from home
