Dog River Blues

I got the Dog River blues

We fell in love and we wowed that day
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Well, my heart still yearns and the river still rolls
And washed your picture right off the wall
I got the Dog River blues

I got the Dog River blues
I pray someday it'll bring you home
I've walked holes in both my shoes
On the banks of the river where the rock juts out
Oh, I still got the river but I ain't got you
Well, the rain came down and the river rose up
Waiting on the banks of that ol' Dog River
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you

So if you change your mind honey I'll be here
I got the Dog River blues
Filled up the cab on my pickup truck
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Well, we married that spring and we built a house
Like the flow of the river our love won't change

I got the Dog River blues
It came in the house and down the hall
I got the Dog River blues
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you
I've walked holes in both my shoes

I got the Dog River blues
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you

You left me and the river here all alone
Now the river's still here but you're long gone
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you
I got the Dog River blues
