You keep goin’ your way – i’ll keep goin’ my way (i’ll keep goin’ my way, you keep rollin’ your way)
River, stay ‘way from the door
I just got (me) a cabin – you don’t need my (you’ll never need that) cabin
River, stay ‘way from the door

Don’t (you) come up any higher – i’m so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire – that is all i own (- and you can have that phone)

I ain’t breakin’ your heart – don’t (you) start breakin’ my heart
River, stay ‘way from the door

(stay ‘way, get ‘way, roll ‘way, stay ‘way)
(you dirty, old, muddy river, you)
(river, stay ‘way from the door)
