River, Stay ’Way From My Door lyrics
by Harold Arlen
[Verse 1]
You keep goin' your way
I'll keep goin' my way (I'll keep goin' my way, you keep rollin' your way)
River, stay 'way from the door
[Verse 2]
I just got (me) a cabin
You don't need my (you'll never need that) cabin
River, stay 'way from the door
[Verse 3]
Don't (you) come up any higher
I'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire - that is all I own (- and you can have that phone)
[Verse 4]
I ain't breakin' your heart
Don't (you) start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from the door
[Bridge]
Don′t you come up any higher
I'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire
And you can have that phone
I ain′t breakin' your heart
Don′t you start breakin' my heart
River, stay way from the door
[Outro]
(Stay 'way, get 'way, roll 'way, stay 'way)
(You dirty, old, muddy river, you)
(River, stay 'way from the door)
