A
Rising river Bmblues, runnin' by my Adoor,
Rising river Bmblues, runnin' by my Adoor,
They Drunnin', sweet mama, Elike they haven't run Abefore.

I got to move in the Bmalley, I ain't allowed on your Astreet,
I got to move in the Bmalley, I ain't allowed on the Astreet,
These Drising river blues Esure have got me Abeat.

Mmm...

Come here, sweet mama, let me speak my mind,
Come here, sweet mama, let me speak my mind,
To cure these blues gon' take a long, long time.
