You keep goin' your way,
I'll keep goin' my way,
River, stay 'way from my door.
I just got a cabin,
You don't need my cabin,
River, stay 'way from my door.
Don't come up any higher,
I'm so all alone,
Leave my bed and my fire
That's all I own.
I ain't breakin' your heart,
Don't start breakin' my heart,
River, stay 'way from my door.
