Lefty Frizzel - James River lyrics

James River is long and it's narrow it's rocky and wide and deep The women are dark eyed beauties and the men don't ever sleep A dark eyed bundle of a woman stands waving on the bank I see The dangers are plenty but the pleasures are many I know James River man will ever stop me So when the sun goes down and I sneak around trouble is everywhere My boat head the bank so they can see no James River man will ever stop me [ banjo ] The holes in my boat are many hot licks flyin' again The James River boys're jealous they all hate the mountain man There's a sweet bundle... I know James River man will ever stop me I know James River man will ever stop me I know James River man will ever stop me
