Well I first kissed you on a hollow log Down by the river they call the Dog We fell in love and we wowed that day Like the flow of the river our love won't change Well we married that spring and we built a house On the bank of the river where the rock juts out Now the river's still here but you're long gone You left me and the river here all alone
(Chorus) I got the Dog river blues I've walked holes in both my shoes Now I still got the river but I ain't got you I got the Dog river blues
Well the rain came down and the river rose up Filled up the cab on my pickup truck It came in the house and down the hall And washed your picture right off the wall
(Chorus)
Well my heart still yearns and the river still rolls And I pray someday it'll bring you home So if you change your mind honey I'll be here Waiting on the banks of that ol' Dog River
