River Boy - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)
He was born and raised on the river
It's the only life that he know
People around here have put a name on him
And he hear it wherever he go
They call him river boy river boy
Good for nothing river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothing but a river boy
He does a lot of fishing on the river
He makes to the living night way
When he take his catch to the market place
You can hear all the people say
They call him river boy river boy
Any fish today river boy
He buy his ware but nobody cares
About the feelings of the river boy
There's a pretty girl works at the market place
See her there everyday
But when he try to talk to her
You can hear her papa say
Come away from that river boy that river boy
Good friend Nothing riff raff river boys
No girl of mine is gonna spend her time
With a good for nothing river boy
He head his boat back up the river
Back to his old fishing place
I'm afraid this ol river's will overflow
From the tears a falling down his face
He is a river boy a river boy
A broken hearted river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothing but a river boy
