Ferlin Husky - Flat River Mom lyrics

Flat River Mow Flat River Mow it's been a many a day since I washed her waters flow If I ain't got the money to pay I'm gonna walk every step of the way Cause I gotta go back to Flat River Mow The clothes on my back have been friends with the ground too long And my foolish dream of wealth and fame is gone Each day the hand of failure wakes me up at the break of dawn And tells me to go back home to Flat River Mow Flat River Mow Flat River Mow... I wonder if Mary's heart has ventured and grown fond I wonder if the baby calls her mom At night when the city lights and the neon signs come on They don't shine like the moon back home over Flat River Mow Flat River Mow Flat River Mow... Flat River Mow Flat River Mow...
