Willie Nelson - River Boy lyrics

I was born and raised on the river It's the only life that I know People 'round here have put a name on me And I hear it wherever I go They call me river boy, river boy Good for nothin' river boy This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy When you're nothin' but a river boy I do a lot of fishin' on the river To make my livin' you see When I take my catch to the market place The people call out to me And they say, river boy, hey river boy You got any fish today there, river boy I sell my ware, but nobody cares About the feelin's of the river boy There's a pretty girl works at the market place I see her there everyday But when I try to talk to her I can hear her papa say Come away from that River boy, he's a river boy Nothin' but riff-raff, them river boys No girl of mine is gonna waste her time On a good for nothin' river boy So I head my boat back up the river Back to my old fishin' place I'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflow From the tears a-fallin' down my face I'm nothin' but a river boy, river boy A good for nothin' river boy This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy When you're nothin' but a river boy River boy, river boy A good for nothin' river boy River boy
