[Verse]
DThere?s a little plaGce that comes to mind
DBelieve yoAu me it?s a joy to find
They cDlose off tGhe streets at harvest time
In tDhat old ArivDer town
DFishing boats Gthey blow their horns
DThrough the Amist of the early morn
DYou thank tGhe lord that you were born
In Dthat old Griver Dtown
So bGreak out the fidDdle and dosie doe
DThere?s not Aa place that I don?t know
DCane fields buGrning all around
DWe?re Aall DgoinDg down tAo tDhat old river town
Well a flDood came throuGgh in ?74
Left a fDoot of mud iAn the dance hall floor
DNever sGeen one as big before
In thDat old ArivDer town
The mDoon is hanging way up Ghigh
DIn the noArth coast summer sky
I mDet a little girl that Gcaught my eye
In Dthat olAd rivDer town
Well the bEand is finished they plAayed the show
And noEne of us B7want to go on home
TherEe?s a party Aon at a place I know
In tEhat olB7d rivEer town
So bAreak out the fiddle and Edosie doe
EThere?s not B7a place that I don?t know
ECane fields burAning all around
EWe?rB7e alEl goinEg down B7to thEat old river town
EWe?rB7e alEl going Edown B7to thEat old river town
