lyrics

River’s Eddy Blues
Enion Pelta-Tiller (BMI)
Well, the rain kept falling and the day turned dark as the
Rain kept falling and the day turned black as night.
Came home in the evening
Heard Trouble calling on my right.

Oh Trouble, Trouble, don’t you call me Trouble
Trouble don’t you call my name.
I don’t believe in you,
You ought to be ashamed.

Old River Man come to take back the
River Man come back to take my home. 
Got out with my life,
Now that’s what I own.

Listen to the rain fall on above my
Head is pounding from the rain falling on above.
Feeling sick down to my toes,
Worrying about the ones I love.

River, you old St. Vrain River you
Ain’t such a saintly river, man.
Don’t you take my family,
Don’t you take my plan.

Makes me think about what we did to
Make me think about what we did to him.
Moved that old god around like he’s some
Kind of little kid.

Water, we got too much of your
Blues and browns from the water rushing down.
Used to cry for more,
Now looks like we gonna drown.

Water, we got too much of you
Blues and browns from the water rushing down these hills
If you don’t take me then these blues surely will
No no if you don’t take me then these blues surely will
If you don’t take me then these blues surely will.
