The River Driver Lyrics - The Hard & The Easy - Great Big Sea

I was just the age of sixteen 

When I first went on the drive 

After six months hard labour 

At home I did arrive 

And courted with a pretty girl 

'Twas her caused me to roam 

Now I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home 

 

CHORUS: 

I'll eat when I am hungry 

And I'll drink when I am dry 

Get drunk whenever I'm ready 

Get sober by and by 

And if the river don't drown me 

It's down I'll need to roam 

For I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home 

 

I'll build a lonesome castle 

Upon some mountain high 

Where she can sit an view me 

As I go passin' by 

Where she can sit an view me 

As I go marchin' on 

For I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home 

 

CHORUS 

 

When I am old and feeble 

And in my sickness lie 

Just wrap me up in a blanket 

And lay me down to die 

Just get a little bluebird 

To sing for me alone 

For I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home 

 

CHOTUS x2 

 

For I'm a River Driver and I'm far away from home
