Lefty Frizzell James River
James River is long and it's narrow
It's rocky and wide and deep
The women are dark eyed beauties
And the men don't ever sleep.
A dark eyed bundle of a woman
Stands waving on the bank I see
The dangers are plenty but the pleasures are many
I know James River man will ever stop me.
So when the sun goes down and I sneak around
Trouble is everywhere
My boat head the bank so they can see
No James River man will ever stop me.
--- Instrumental ---
The holes in my boat are many
Hot licks flyin' again
The James River boys're jealous
They all hate the mountain man.
There's a sweet bundle of a woman
Stands waving on the bank I see
The dangers are plenty but the pleasures are many
I know James River man will ever stop me.
I know James River man will ever stop me
I know James River man will ever stop me
I know James River man will ever stop me...
