Blue river, it can't be found on any map that I know

But it's the place where lonely lovers all go

To cry their tears, blue river

It winds along a path of heartache and pain

Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain

Like I loved you, and baby I still do



I held you so tight

You were out of my sight

I'm feelin' so low

But I gotta go

Blue river because you never really cared about me

From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be

Cryin' over you, by the river of blue
