Run little crooked river, run
Down the mountainside from whence you've come
Never turn around to look behind me
Run little crooked river, run
Down the mountainside from whence you've come
Never turn around to look behind me
Travel safe and swiftly through the pine trees
Run little crooked river, run
(hum)
Flow little crooked river, flow
Never mind which way the wind will blow
Keep a steady pace about your course
Overtake each pa** but use no force
Flow little crooked river flow
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Rush little crooked river, rush
In between the elms and through the brush
Carry sticks and twigs upon your back
Tumble, turn and loose no track
Rush little crooked river rush
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Wind little crooked river, wind
Wind until the open sea you find
Marvel your arrival in the clean air
Do take time to breathe in when you get there
Wind little crooked river, wind
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
