Dog River Blues

Well, I first kissed you on a hollow log

Down by the river, they called the dog

Fell in love and we found like day like the flow of the river

Our love won't change

Well, we married that spring and we built a house

On the river on the bank where the rock juts out

The river's still here but you're long gone

You left me in the river here, all alone

I got the Dog River blues

I've walked holes in both my shoes

Now I still got the river but I ain't got you

I've got the Dog River blues

Well, the rain came down, and the river rose up

Filled up the cab on my pickup truck

It came in the house and down the hall

It washed your picture right off the wall

I've got the Dog River blues

I've walked holes in both my shoes

And I still got the river but I ain't got you

I got the Dog River blues

Well, my heart still yearns and the river still rolls

I pray some day, it'll bring you home

If you change you mind, honey, I'll be here

Waiting on the banks of that old dog river

I've got the Dog River blues

I've walked holes in both my shoes

I still got the river but I ain't got you

I got the Dog River blues

I got the Dog River blues

I've walked holes in both my shoes

And I still got the river but I ain't got you

I got the Dog River blues

Oh, I still got the river but I ain't got you

I got the Dog River blues
