The River Driver (Ver2)

E I was just the age of sixteen when I first went on the drive, B After six months hard labor, at home I did arrive. C#m I courted with a pretty girl, t'was her caused me to roam, C#m Now I'm just a river driver and I'm far away from home. E I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry, B Get drunk whenever I'm ready, get sober by and by, B And if this river don't drown me, it's down I'll mean to roam, E 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 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.
