Gonna Take a Lot of River The Oak Ridge Boys
[C]I ain’t gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no [G]highway
I [G]ain’t going nowhere feeling the way I [C]do
Because my [C]baby’s long gone and nothings going [G]my way
I [G]gonna let this muddy water just a-wash away my [C]blues
Chorus:
It gonna take a lot of [C]river to keep this broken [G]heart a-float
Gonna [G]take a lot of river running all the live long [C]day
Gonna take the [C]Mississippi, the Monongahela and the [G]Ohio
Gonna [G]take a lot of river to wash these blues a[C]way
Well I wish I was a tugboat a-pushing and a-pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn’t be no woman that could ever take my love and then do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel
Chorus
Bridge:
Is she in [F]New Orleans is she a [G#m]Cajun queen
I [A#]wonder what she’s doing [C]now
But if [F]I know her she’s got [G#]rings and furs
[A#]Struggling along some[C]how
