GThere's a Lost River that flows
In a Cvalley where no one Ggoes
Where the D7wild water's Crush
Rumbles D7deep in the Ghush
Gone far from there now
Lord CI'll get back someGhow
To where the D7white water Cwinds
In the D7shadow of the Gpines
Oh Lost River now CI'm coming Gback
To the D7pot-belly Cstove
Where the D7firewood's all Gstacked
Ah, Quebec girl, go with me
Ah, ma Cbelle, my fleur-Gde-lis
Where the D7Lost River Cwinds
In the D7shadow of the Gpines
Now everybody knows
Where that CLost River Gflows
It's D7someplace he's Clost
Behind D7bridges that he's Gcrossed
Well he'd like to return
But his Cbridges are all Gburned
And he's D7much too far Cdown
To reD7turn to higher Gground
Oh Lost River now CI'm coming Gback
To the D7pot-belly Cstove
Where the D7firewood's all Gstacked
Ah, Quebec girl, go with me
Ah, ma Cbelle, my fleur-Gde-lis
Where the D7Lost River Cwinds
In the D7shadow of the Gpines
Oh Lost River far Cover the Gridge
Now D7is it too Clate
For me to D7build me a new Gbridge
To the bright golden time
When her Clove was still Gmine
And the D7world was still Cwild
Like the D7heart of a Gchild
Oh Lost River now CI'm coming Gback
To the D7pot-belly Cstove
Where the D7firewood's all Gstacked
Ah, Quebec girl, go with me
Ah, ma Cbelle, my fleur-Gde-lis
Where the D7Lost River Cwinds
In the D7shadow of the Gpines
Where the D7Lost River Cwinds
In the D7shadow of the Gpines

Chords in this song · guitar

There's a Lost River that flows

C G

In a valley where no one goes

D7 C

Where the wild water's rush

D7 G

Rumbles deep in the hush

Gone far from there now

C G

Lord I'll get back somehow

D7 C

To where the white water winds

D7 G

In the shadow of the pines

C G

Oh Lost River now I'm coming back

D7 C

To the pot-belly stove

D7 G

Where the firewood's all stacked

Ah, Quebec girl, go with me

C G

Ah, ma belle, my fleur-de-lis

D7 C

Where the Lost River winds

D7 G

In the shadow of the pines

Now everybody knows

C G

Where that Lost River flows

D7 C

It's someplace he's lost

D7 G

Behind bridges that he's crossed

Well he'd like to return

C G

But his bridges are all burned

D7 C

And he's much too far down

D7 G

To return to higher ground

C G

Oh Lost River now I'm coming back

D7 C

To the pot-belly stove

D7 G

Where the firewood's all stacked

Ah, Quebec girl, go with me

C G

Ah, ma belle, my fleur-de-lis

D7 C

Where the Lost River winds

D7 G

In the shadow of the pines

C G

Oh Lost River far over the ridge

D7 C

Now is it too late

D7 G

For me to build me a new bridge

To the bright golden time

C G

When her love was still mine

D7 C

And the world was still wild

D7 G

Like the heart of a child

C G

Oh Lost River now I'm coming back

D7 C

To the pot-belly stove

D7 G

Where the firewood's all stacked

Ah, Quebec girl, go with me

C G

Ah, ma belle, my fleur-de-lis

D7 C

Where the Lost River winds

D7 G

In the shadow of the pines

D7 C

Where the Lost River winds

D7 G

In the shadow of the pines
