CThere's an old man who lives by the river
In an old log cabin with the G7cracks in the Cwall
Makes his livin' by the catchin' of the fish
If he don't catch many well he cG7an't fix the wCall
FOo-ee the Fwhistle of the wind
Nail up the boards where the wG7ind goes Cin
FOo-ee cCan't go to sleep,
Wade across the river where the wG7aters ain't dCeep
Old man prayed the big fish are bitin'
The time of the year it's lG7ate in the fCall
Winter's 'commin' the winds gonna whistle
Snow gonna blow through the G7cracks in the Cwall
FOo-ee the Cwhistle of the wind
Nail up the boards where the G7wind goes Cin
FOo-ee cCan't go to sleep,
Wade across the river where the G7water ain't dCeep
The old man Courted a pretty youg maiden
A maiden that he loved G7most of Call
She ran away with a cool river gambler
Cool river gambler, G7seven feeCt tall
