Mel McDaniel - Old Man River (I've Come to Talk Again) Lyrics

Cool breeze on the river, ripples to the shore
Wash away my troubles to the sea forever more
Wind and willows whisper, sadness is the sound
Tell a tale of my once-happy world that's fallin' down
Old man, I might be going where you're bound

[Chorus]
Old man river, I've come to talk again
Yes I know you're tired 'cause your journey never ends
She's just like you, she's movin' all the time
And I think she's movin' me out of her mind

I wanna travel with you in your deep and inroad soul
That's the only way to make it peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight, ah but now I feel she's gone
Even though she's lyin' next to me, I feel alone
Old man, it looks like time to travel on

[Chorus x2]

Oh I think she's movin' me out of her mind
Oh I think she's movin' me out of her mind
Oh I think she's movin' me out of her mind
