Cool breeze on the river ripples to the shore
Wash away my troubles to the sea forever more
Wind and willows whisper sadness in the sound
Tell a tale of my once happy world that's fallen down
Old man I might be going where you're bound
Old man river I've come to talk again
Yes I know you're tired cause your journey never ends
He's just like you he's movin' all the time and I think he's movin' me out of her mind
[ harmonica ]
I want to travel with you in your deep and emerald soul
That's the only way to make it peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight but now I feel he's gone
Even though she's lying next to me I feel alone old man it looks like time to travel on
Old man river I've come...
Old man river I've come...
