James River Blues - Old Crow Medicine Show

I just heard the awful news 
I could steer around the rocks 
But theyre bustin down the docks 

James river blues 
That train came on through 
And the worlds gotten slow 
So wheres a boat man to go 

I think Ill float on down 
To Richmond town 
They dont need us anymore 
hauling freight from shore to shore 
That big iron hauls much more 
than we ever could before 

Ive see good men going wrong 
Ive seen bad ones get it right 
As that river rolls along 
Ill be steppin out tonight 

On the cool flow 
floatin down down below 
the bridge till the waters edge 
From the ridge to the ledge 
From the hills to the sea 
Ill become a memory 
James River blues
