[Chorus] 
CFC Lost on the river, dark is the night
G7 Just like the blind, prayin' for sight
CFC Driftin' along, heart filled with strife
G7C I'm lost on the river, the river of life
 [Chorus] 
FC Once dear I thought, I knew the way
G7 But that was before, ole sad yester day
CFC Words that you told me, cut like a knife
G7C I'm lost on the river, the river of life
 [Chorus] 
FC Out on this river, where sorrow creeps
G7 Thinking of you, and how my heart weeps
CFC To morrow you'll be another man's wife
G7C
