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