[Verse 1]
C F
I was born and raised on the river
G C
It's the only life that I know
C F
People 'round here have put a name on me
G C
And I hear it wherever I go
[Chorus 1]
C F G
They call me River Boy, River Boy
C
Good for nothin' River Boy
F
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joys
G C
For a good for nothin' River Boy
[Verse 2]
C F
I do a lot of fishin' on the river
G C
To make my livin' you see
C F
When I take my catch to the market place
G C
People call out to me
[Chorus 2]
C F G
And they say, River Boy, hey River Boy
C
You got any fish there today, River Boy
C F
I sell my wares, but nobody cares
G C C F G
About the feeling's of a River Boy
[Verse 3]
C# F#
There's a pretty girl works at the market place
G# C#
I see her there every day
C# F#
But every time I try to talk to her
G# C#
I can hear her papa say
[Chorus 3]
C# F# G#
Come away from that River boy, River Boy
C#
Nothing but riff-raff, them River Boys
C# F#
No daughter of mine is gonna waste her time
G# C#
On a good for nothin' River Boy
[Verse 4]
C# F#
So I head my boat back up the river
G# C#
Back to the old fishing place
C# F#
I'm afraid this old river's gonna overflow
G# C#
From the tears fallin' down my face
[Chours 4]
C# F# G#
I'm just a River Boy, River Boy
C#
A good for nothin' River Boy
C# F#
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
G# C#
for a good for nothin' River Boy
[Outro]
G# C#
Good for nothin' River boy
G# C#
Good for nothin' River Boy
G# C#
Im just a good for nothin' River Boy
G# C#
Good for nothin' River Boy
