[00:08.21] I was born and raised on the river
[00:11.37] It's the only life that I know
[00:15.38] People around here have put a name on me
[00:18.58] And I hear it wherever I go
[00:21.29] They call me river boy river boy
[00:27.07] Good for nothing river boy
[00:29.85] This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
[00:33.11] When you're nothing but a river boy
[00:38.66] I do a lot of fishing on the river
[00:42.22] To make my living you see
[00:45.54] When I take my catch to the market place
[00:49.43] The people call out to me
[00:52.17] And they say river boy hey river boy
[00:57.42] You got any fish today there river boy
[01:00.23] I sell my ware but nobody cares
[01:03.39] About the feelings of the river boy
[01:06.28]
[01:14.42] There's a pretty girl works at the market place
[01:18.17] I see her there everyday
[01:21.88] But when I try to talk to her
[01:25.67] I can hear her papa say
[01:27.95] Come away from that river boy he's a river boy
[01:33.83] Nothing but riff raff them river boys
[01:36.87] No girl of mine is gonna waste her time
[01:39.64] On a good for nothing river boy
[01:45.04] So I head my boat back up the river
[01:49.07] Back to my old fishing place
[01:52.22] I'm afraid this ol river's gonna overflow
[01:55.93] From the tears a falling down my face
[01:59.13] I'm nothing but a river boy river boy
[02:04.36] A good for nothing river boy
[02:07.27] This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
[02:10.44] When you're nothing but a river boy
[02:15.61] River boy river boy
[02:18.87] A good for nothing river boy
[02:22.78] River boy
[02:25.42] A good for nothing river boy
