Diving Duck Blues Lyrics - Keb Mo

If the river was whiskey 

I would be a diving duck 

If the river was whiskey 

I would be a diving duck 

I would swim to the bottom, but I would drink my way up 

If you were a good woman 

I would never have to roam 

If you were a good woman 

I would never have to roam 

I'd give up drinking whiskey and I would always stay at home 

River go to the ocean, ocean go to the sea 

Why you ain't no good woman 

A mystery to me 

River go to the ocean, ocean go to the sea 

And like a fish has got to swim, you've got to make a fool out of me 

If the river was whiskey 

I would be a diving duck 

If the river was whiskey 

I would be a diving duck 

I would swim to the bottom, but I would drink my way up
