Lyrics:

You come across the James River
for a needle, and a ...
...
...
...

You come across the old lee bridge
A-For a dollar fifty in change
But would you come across the James River
To be my woman again
To be my woman again

You go to work for Ms. Kitty
For a decent rate of pay
But would you come across the James River
for this heart of gold?
For this heart of gold?

You keep a pistol in your left boot
A brush and comb in your purse
But would you come across the James River
For this heart of gold?
To be my woman again?
