Mis'ry River - Doyle Lawson
Oh Misery river won't you take me along
Oh Misery riv-er carry me back home where I belong
Well I was a fool to have let that girl
Lead me so far from my home
She stole all the love in my heart
And all she left me was alone
So Misery river I've come back to you
It's strange you're my only friend
Tonight you'll be drifting down to Dixie
So please take me back home again
Oh Misery river I won't you take me along
Oh Misery riv-er carry me back home where I belong
You left me in a land full of strangers
Who don't care if I live or die
And even the man in the moon don't smile
As he did in that old southern sky
So Misery river have a little mercy
My heart has been broken and torn
Let me wash my wounds in your water
Take me back to the land where I was born
Oh Misery river why don't you take me along
Oh Misery riv-er carry me back home where I belong
Oh Misery river why don't you take me along
Oh Misery riv-er carry me back home where I belong
Carry me back home where I belong
