Riverside Blues Lyrics

Down by the riverside, under a weeping willow tree

I sit alone, just my guitar and me

Singing the blues as the water flows by

Underneath the vast open sky

Oh, riverside blues, wash my pain away

Carry my sorrows far away, let the river flow

Take my blues to the sea, set my weary heart free

I've walked these streets both day and night, searching for wrongs

I could never ride the bar down the river

I find my peace in the blues, I find my release

Riverside blues, in the air I breathe

The rustling leaves and the whispered breeze

With every note I play, let my spirit soar

Riverside blues fill my core

There's a story in every tear, in the rustling leaves

In the whispered breeze, by the whispered soul

There's a story in every tear, a song in every pain

In the heart of the blues

Nothing's in vain by the riverside, where the waters flow

I find my strength, I let it show, so I keep playing

Under the moonlit sky, with the stars above as my only alibi

The blues in my soul, by the river so wide

I'll ride these waves, let the music be my guide

The rustling leaves, till the end of my days

In the gentle river, I set my gaze

With my guitar in hand, the blues in my heart

Down by the riverside, we'll never part
