Lost on the River

(Hank Williams)



Lost on the river, dark is the night

Just like the blind, prayin' for sight

Driftin' along, heart filled with strife

I'm lost on the river, the river of life.



Once dear, I thought I knew the way

But that was before, ole sad yesterday

Words that you told me, cut like a knife

I'm lost on the river, the river of life.



Out on this river, where sorrow creeps

Thinking of you and how my heart weeps

Tomorrow you'll be another man's wife

And I'm lost on the river, the river of life...
