Lyrics:
The day the river freezesIs the day it won´t seem fair´Cause they´ll come to get the River LadyAnd I don´t think they´ll careI know they´ll scrape her paint offIn their same old foolish waysNow the people see the riverBut the old ships gone awayWater turns cold and gets ta freezin´Before you even know itThe old girl´s easin´Away from her berthRound by the pointAnd out of our viewOff in the mistHer engine´s woundin´Like on the banksThat old horn´s soundin´A little goodbyeA little I´ll do what I must doA little goodbyeA little I´ll do what I must doA da da dum, dum, dum, da da da dum dumI know I will rememberWhen I cannot hear that hornThat would roll up by the mountainsAs she took us through the stormI know they´ve got to take herBut I can´t say I approve´Cause she´s won so many battlesThat I hate to see her loseWater turns cold and gets ta freezin´Before you even know itThe old girl´s easin´Away from her berthRound by the pointAnd out of our viewA little goodbyeA little I´ll do, what I must doThe water turns coldAnd gets to freezin´Before you even know itThe old girl´s easin´Away from her berth´Round by the pointAnd out of our viewOff in the mistHer engine´s boundin´Like on the banksThat old horn´s soundin´A little goodbyeA little I´ll doWhat I must doA little goodbyeA little I´ll doWhat I must doDum da da da-dum
