[Intro]
(River stay away from my door)

[Verse 1]
You keep goin' your way and I'll keep goin' my way
River stay away from my door
I've just got a cabin and you don't need my cabin
River stay away from my door

[Verse 2]
Don't come up any higher I'm so all alone
Leave my bed and my fire that's all, all I own
I ain't breakin' your heart, don't commence to breakin' my heart
River stay away from my door

[Bridge]
River stay away from my door
River stay away from my door

[Verse 2]
Don't come up any higher, I'm so all alone
Leave my bed and my fire that's all, all I own
I ain't breakin' your heart, don't start breakin' my heart
River, I said ol' man river
River stay away from my door
