James River Blues Lyrics


James River blues
I just heard the awful news
I could steer around the rocks
But they're bustin' down the docksJames River blues
That train came on through
And the work's gotten slow
So where's a boat man to go?I think I'll float on down
To Richmond town
They don't need us anymore
Hauling freight from shore to shore
That big iron hauls much more
Than we ever could beforeI've seen good men going wrong
I've seen bad ones get it right
As that river rolls along
I'll be steppin' out tonightOn the cool flow
Floatin' down, down below
The bridge till the waters edge
From the ridge to the ledgeFrom the hills to the sea

I'll become a memory
James River blues
James River blues
James River blues

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Old Crow Medicine Show is a folk/country group from Nashville, Tennessee. Along with original songs, the band performs many pre-World War II blues and folk songs. The style of music they perform is sometimes called alt-country, but today more often referred to as Americana.

Their 2004 album "O.C.M.S." was selected by CMT (Country Music Television) as one of the top-10 bluegrass albums of that year. Their current tour includes bars, festivals, and larger venues. They are best experienced in smaller settings, where their infectious high-energy style electrifies the crowd, often a mixture of older listeners and 20-somethings.

They make frequent guest appearances on A Prairie Home Companion.

The song Wagon Wheel is written based off a chorus composed by Bob Dylan for the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
