Verse
            G
Well my name is Darwin Lyin
         D
And I work on the Grand Trunk line
          Am
Movin' lumber down at the Muir Station
            C
Keeping all of the engines on time
 
Verse
     G
I work for Mr. Blanchard
              D
Though I never met the man
  Am
I take his honest wages
         C
And I come home with two tired hands
Chorus
G        D                  C
 And it looks like it's raining
G          D               C
 For the third time today
G        D        F                  C
 And I pray it keeps coming down
Till' the river
                G    D F C G
Takes me away         
 
 
Verse
               G
She was standing on the platform
          D
With a postcard in her hand
        Am
Even though my shy heart was racing
     C
I inquired did she have a man
 
Verse
      G
She looked down at the walkway
            D
And the wind danced in her hair
      Am
She told me she was a widow
          C
As she whispered a silent prayer
 
Chorus
G        D                 C
 And it looks like it's raining
G           D              C
 For the third time today
G        D          F                 C
 And I pray it keeps coming down
Till the river
Till the river
Till the river
                G     D F C G
Takes me away.         
 
 
Verse
             G
I would court her through the autumn
       D
Till' finally she would agree
             Am
We were married down on the Maple River
                C
Neath' the shade of the old redbud tree

Verse
        G
Most days I spent at the parlor
            D
And the drink got the best part of me
         Am
Till' I stumbled alone to the home that we 
made
          C
Just to find she decided to leave
 
Verse
         G
Now I lay here in this gutter
              D
While the poison rushes my veins
         Am
And I curse this god forsaken fever
                C
That could drive any poor man insane
 
Chorus
G         D                 C
 And it looks like it's raining
G          D                 C
 For the third time today
G         D           F                 C
  And I pray it keeps coming down
Till the river
Till the river
Till the river
                G     D F C G
Takes me away.
