I grew up skipping rocks on deep river

It’s rapid and it’s mighty, carrying everything on down

I hear the steamboat whistle and I shiver

I never thought I’d want to leave this little river town
[Chorus]

So, take me far away, deep river
A
And take the pain away, deep River

Lord knows how big a fool I’ve been

I’ve been thinking on jumping in, deep river

Floating on hope we’d always be together

But now they’ve gone and left me here and both are headed South
[Chorus]

So, take me far away, deep river

Tell me what to do now deep river
