[00:27.41]I met you in Alabama
[00:29.92]I'd just married your daughter
[00:32.61]You were sitting on the cender block steps you built
[00:38.26]Your ol' dog came barking
[00:40.64]I gave him bothof my sandwiches
[00:43.34]You said „Are you a preacher“
[00:45.84]Then you offered me a drink
[00:48.22]
[00:51.36]Ah the rivers seem so muddy
[00:54.12]And the years just keep on rolling
[00:56.81]Now we have a bunch of children
[00:59.57]And the money goes real quick
[01:02.57]I'd love to stay and help you
[01:05.21]I know you know about the road
[01:08.22]Sorry about the Karma I couldn't pay
[01:10.74]That's why I couldn't stay
[01:12.79]
[01:17.56]My father was from Kansas
[01:20.26]He grew up in the wheat fields
[01:22.95]Felt he had an obligation, to feed the hungry world
[01:31.16]War took him to the South Pacific
[01:33.85]He died last year of cancer
[01:36.48]Ruth Broadhenst was his second wife
[01:39.29]She followed St. Patricks Day
[01:42.43]
[01:44.78]Ah the rivers seem so muddy
[01:47.48]And the years just keep on rolling
[01:50.37]Now we have a bunch of children
[01:53.00]And the money goes real quick
[01:56.00]I'd love to stay and help you
[01:58.71]I know you know about the road
[02:01.53]Sorry about the Karma I couldn't pay
[02:04.35]That's why I couldn't stay
[02:06.48]
[02:35.65]You taught me how to whittle
[02:37.91]An' you taught me how to whistle
[02:40.60]And you show'd me how to skate and then to drive
[02:46.29]You took me to Paunka City
[02:48.74]My God the girls are pretty
[02:51.56]We drank about a half an ocean
[02:54.19]Then the highway took my soul
[02:56.55]
[02:59.69]Ah the rivers seem so muddy
[03:02.32]And the years just keep on rolling
[03:05.13]Now we have a bunch of children

[03:10.96]I'd love to stay and help you
[03:13.47]I know you know about the road
[03:16.36]Sorry about the Karma I couldn't pay
[03:19.17]That's why I couldn't stay
[03:21.80]
[04:12.27]Love will keep you guessing
[04:14.58]Winter winds will test you
[04:17.28]Broken cars will break you
[04:19.85]And she'll probably break your heart
[04:25.48]There's a billion miles of black top
[04:27.99]I'd recommend hot coffee
[04:30.64]If they ever question of me
[04:33.39]Tell them why I couldn't stay
[04:36.27]
