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 works gotten slow   Now where's a boat man to go?   I think i'll flow on down   To richmond town   They don't need us anymore   Haulin freight from shore to shore   That big iron hauls much more   Than we ever could before.      I've seen good men goin wrong   Ive 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 to 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
