Niles River Blues
On the banks of the Niles I courted my loveI walked with her soft as a mournin' doveI loved her true I swear I still doAnd now she's gone without meI walk by the banks and give the Lord thanksThat I had the chance to court herI don't know why he flew her awayI don't know why I'm left hereThe Niles runs cold and clearAs cold and clear as my tearsI'll never forget, I'll never regretThose days on the beautiful NilesHer name was Diane her beautiful handsWere soft as the pearls in the waterI looked in her eyes they were blue as the skiesAnd now I've gone and left herI'll follow her down the way to the riverFollow her now, now and foreverShe's my one and only smileOn the beautiful banks of the NilesSomeday soon 'neath the light of the moonLetras de cancionesWhen the sun and the rain shine togetherI'll meet her down where the waters flowAnd continue to flow foreverDown on the banks of the beautiful NilesI wonder what I can be thinkingDown on the banks of that beautiful riverI'll wander, look for her foreverI'll wander, look for her forever
