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

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 emerald soul
That's the only way to make it peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight oh but now I feel she's gone
Even though she's lying next to me I feel alone
Old man it looks like time to travel on

Old man river I've come to talk again...
Old man river I've come to talk again...
Oh I think she's movin' me out of her mind
Oh I think she's movin' me out of her mind
