Cool breeze on the river ripples to the shore
Wash away my troubles to the sea forever more
Wind and willows whisper sadness in the sound
Tell a tale of my once happy world that`s fallen down
Old man I might be going where you`re bound
Old man river I`ve come to talk again
Yes I know you`re tired cause your journey never ends
He`s just like you he`s movin` all the time and I think he`s movin` me out of her mind
[ harmonica ]
I wanna travel with you in your deep and emerald soul
That`s the only way to make it peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight but now I feel he`s gone
Even though she`s lying next to me I feel alone old man it looks like time to travel on
Old man river I`ve come...
Old man river I`ve come...
