I keep on runnin' baby, I keep on runnin'
But I just can't hide, no I just can't hide
I keep on hurtin' baby, I keep on hurtin' so deep inside
So deep inside

Lord I need your smile, child like the one I once knew
Made my grass green and my blue skies blue
Lord were time when 2 was 1, tell me now girl
Where've all the good times gone

Lord I say I'm gonna cry me a river
Wash my blues all away
I'm gonna cry me a river
Girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah, baby
Take me away

I'm reachin' out my hand
Won't you please help me to my feet once again
Oh once again, tears fallin' like rain
Lord it's a time when everybody needs a friend
Now girl where've you been, yeah

Lord I need your smile, child like the one I once knew
Made my grass green and my blue skies blue
Lord was a time when 2 was 1, tell me now girl
Where've all the good times gone, yeah
You know what I'm saying

I'm gonna cry me a river
Wash my blues all away
I'm gonna cry me a river
Girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah
Baby take me away, oh take away child

And Lord I say, I'm gonna cry me a river
Wash my blues all away
I'm gonna cry me a river
Lord, wash my blues all away

I'm gonna cry me a river
Wash my blues all away
Yeah I'm gonna cry me a river
And girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah baby
Come take me away
