INTRO: D G A D
VERSE 1:
D G
I was born and raised on the river
A D
It's the only life that I know

People 'round here have put a name on me
A D
And I hear it wherever I go

D G
They call me river boy, river boy
A D
A good for nothin' river boy
D G
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
A D
When you're nothin' but a river boy
VERSE 2:
D G
I do a lot of fishin' on the river
A D
To make my livin' you see
D G
When I take my catch to the market place
A D
The people call out to me
CHORUS 2:
D G
And they say, river boy, hey river boy
A D
You got any fish today there, river boy
D G
I sell my ware, but nobody cares
A D
About the feeling's of the river boy

There's a pretty girl works at the market place

I see her there everyday

But when I try to talk to her
B7 E
I can hear her papa say
CHORUS 3:
E A
Come away from that River boy, he's a river boy
B7 E
Nothin' but a riff-raff river boy
E A
No girl of mine is gonna waste her time
B7 E
On a good for nothin' river boy
VERSE 4:
So I head my boat back up the river
Back to my old fishin' place
I'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflow
CHORUS:
I'm nothin' but a river boy, river boy
A good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
