Lyrics:

Blue river, like you, I'm blue
I'm filled with loneliness the whole night through
Blue river, please hear my plea
While you flow silently way down to the sea
If you see my loved one, please tell her for me
Tell her that I'm lonesome, blue as I can be
Blue river, she's drifted away
Please bring her back to me somewhere someday


If you see my loved one, please tell her for me
Tell her that I'm lonesome, blue as I can be
Blue river, she's drifted away
Please bring her back to me somewhere someday
