Ferlin Husky "Flat River Mo" |
(Dallas Frazier) Flat River, Mo., Flat River, Mo. It's been a many a day since I watched her waters flow If I ain't got the money to pay, I'm gonna walk every step of the way 'Cause I gotta go back to Flat River, Mo. The clothes on my back have been friends with the ground too long And my foolish dream of wealth and fame is gone Each day the hand of failure wakes me up at the break of dawn And tells me to go back home to Flat River, Mo. Flat River, Mo., Flat River, Mo. It's been a many a day since I watched her waters flow If I ain't got the money to pay, I'm gonna walk every step of the way 'Cause I gotta go back to Flat River, Mo. --- Instrumental --- I wonder if Mary's heart has ventured and grown fond I wonder if the baby calls her mom At night when the city lights and the neon signs come on They don't shine like the moon back home over Flat River, Mo. Flat River Mo., Flat River Mo. It's been a many a day since I watched her waters flow If I ain't got the money to pay, I'm gonna walk every step of the way 'Cause I gotta go back to Flat River, Mo. Flat River, Mo., Flat River, Mo. It's been a many a day since I watched her waters flow If I ain't got the money to pay, I'm gonna walk every step of the way 'Cause I gotta go back to Flat River, Mo... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
