Letra River lady Roger Whittaker

River lady

The day the river freezes
Is the day it wont seem fair
Cause theyll come to get the River Lady
And I dont think theyll care
I know theyll scrape her paint off
In their same old foolish ways
Now the people see the river
But the old ships gone away
Water turns cold and gets ta freezin
Before you even know it
The old girls easin
Away from her berth
Round by the point
And out of our view
Off in the mist
Her engines woundin
Like on the banks
That old horns soundin
A little goodbye
A little Ill do what I must do
A little goodbye
A little Ill do what I must do
A da da dum, dum, dum, da da da dum dum
I know I will remember
When I cannot hear that horn
That would roll up by the mountains
As she took us through the storm
I know theyve got to take her
But I cant say I approve
Cause shes won so many battles
That I hate to see her lose
Water turns cold and gets ta freezin
Before you even know it
The old girls easin
Away from her berth
Round by the point
And out of our view
A little goodbye
A little Ill do, what I must do
The water turns cold
And gets to freezin
Before you even know it
The old girls easin
Away from her berth
Round by the point
And out of our view
Off in the mist
Her engines boundin
Like on the banks
That old horns soundin
A little goodbye
A little Ill do
What I must do
A little goodbye
A little Ill do
What I must do
Dum da da da-dum
