[Verse 1]
I've lived by the river all my life
And I ain't ever know nothin' but toil and strife
And I can't go home again, I can't go home again
It's east and west the highway goes
Thank God, ain't got nothin' to save my soul
And I miss my blue-eyed baby, oh
Little blue-eyed baby, oh

[Verse 2]
Well, that river's deep, and that river's wide
And the Devil stands on every side
And I can't go home again, I can't go home again
It's east and west the highway goes
Thank God, ain't got nothin' to save my soul
And I miss my blue-eyed baby, oh
Little bluе-eyed baby, oh

[Verse 3]
Well, that prеtty little girl I love so well
She goes to heaven and I go to hell
And I can't go home again, I can't go home again
It's east and west the highway goes
Thank God, ain't got nothin' to save my soul
And I miss my blue-eyed baby, oh
Little blue-eyed baby, oh
[Outro]
It's east and west the highway goes
Thank God, ain't got nothin' to save my soul
I miss my blue-eyed baby, oh
My pretty little blue-eyed baby, oh
