lyrics

Lonely days, sleepless nights
Double crosses and hope to die
My darlin’ loves another
Why? Little darlin’, why?

Blue heart, black river
My darlin’ is gone
Blue heart, black river
I can’t forgive ‘er and I can’t go on alone

Cold words, cold cold heart
So cold I could see your breath
Chilled me right to the bones
Filled my nights with dreams of death

Blue heart, black river
My darlin’ is gone
Blue heart, black river
I can’t forgive ‘er and I can’t go on alone

Standing here by the river banks
I can hear your wicked lines
They’re there like the hammer in my hands
“There there, little darlin’, don’t you cry”

Blue heart, black river
My darlin’ is gone
Blue heart, black river
I can’t forgive ‘er and I can’t go on alone

Red snow in New England
River flows cold as ice
I went down in it three times
Lord, I only come up twice

With a blue heart, black river
My darlin’ is gone
Blue heart, black river
I can’t forgive ‘er and I can’t go on alone
