Songtexte River, Stay `Way from My Door - Jimmy Rushing

You're just a lonely little river
But I have heard somebody say
That someday you may
Squeeze my home away

So roll along you lonely river
And find your way to the sea
I don't bother you
Don't you bother me!

You keep goin' your way
I'll keep goin' my way
River, stay 'way from my door!

I just got a cabin
You don't need a cabin
River, stay 'way from my door!

Don't come up any higher
I'm so all alone
Leave my bed and my fire
That's all I'll ever own!

I ain't breakin' your heart
Don't start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from my door!
