作曲 : Fuqua, Rawlings, Secor, Watson James River blues I just heard the awful news I could steer around the rocks But they're bustin' down the docks James River blues That train came on through And the work's gotten slow So where's a boat man to go? I think I'll float on down To Richmond town They don't need us anymore Hauling freight from shore to shore That big iron hauls much more Than we ever could before I've seen good men going wrong I've seen bad ones get it right As that river rolls along I'll be steppin' out tonight On the cool flow Floatin' down, down below The bridge till the waters edge From the ridge to the ledge From the hills to the sea I'll become a memory James River blues James River blues James River blues
