Old river winding
Water run high
If there's gold for the finding
Well, it's passing me by
How I ache for a part in a play
I could say I didn't blow
Oh Louise, won't you please me now
You bring me to my knees
You only tease me now
It seems you're always trying to show
That you're unkind
T hat you've got nothing for a heart
And echoes in your mind
You know, faking everything
Don't make it fine
Take everything
But don't take my time

I walked to some river
And I felt how it flowed
Though I feel like a beggar now
I say I've chosen to go
Some loving is torture
It seems ours is not the way
Oh Louise, I'm gonna leave you now
You bring me to my knees
You only grieve me now
It seems you're always trying to show
That you're unkind
That you've got nothing for a heart
And echoes in your mind
You know, faking everything
Don't make it fine
Take everything
But don't take my time
