Blue river, it can′t be found on any map that I know
But it′s the place where lonely lovers all go
To cry their tears, blue river
It winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from lovin′ someone in vain
Like I loved you, and baby I still do

I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I′m feelin′ so low
But I gotta go
Blue river because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that′s where I′m gonna be
Cryin′ over you, by the river of blue
