BLUE RIVER
(Paul Evans / Frederick Tobias)

Elvis Presley - 1963



Blue river, it can't be found on any map that I know
But it's a place where lonely lovers all go
To cry their tears

Blue river, it winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain
The way that I loved you, and baby I still do

(One night) I held you so tight
(Next night) You were out of my sight
(Oh-oh) I'm feelin' so low
(I know) Well, I gotta go

Blue river, because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Cryin' over you, by the river of blue 

Oh yeah!

(Instrumental Break)

(One night) I held you so tight
(Next night) You were out of my sight
(Oh-oh) I'm feelin' so low
(I know) Well, I gotta go

Blue river, because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Cryin' over you, by the river of blue
