[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, I need your smile child
Like the one I once knew
Made my grass green & my blue skies blue
Lord, was time when 2 was 1, tell me now girl
Where've all the good times gone?
-(Mm-mm, Mm-mm, Mm-mm yeah...)-
[Chorus]
Lord I say
I'm gonna cry me a river
Wash my blues away
I'm gonna cry me a river
Girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah
Baby, take me away
[Verse 2]
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 you been, yeah?
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, I need your smile child
Like the one I once knew
Made my grass green & my blue skies blue
Lord, was time when 2 was 1, tell me now girl
Where've all the good times gone?
-(Mm-mm, Mm-mm, Mm-mm yeah...)-
[Chorus]
Lord I say
I'm gonna cry me a river
Wash my blues away
I'm gonna cry me a river
Girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah
Baby, take me away
...oh take away child
[Solo]
-(Mm-mm, Mm-mm, Mm-mm yeah...)-
[Chorus]
Oh Lord I say
I'm gonna cry me a river
Wash my blues away
I'm gonna cry me a river
Lo', wash my blues away
I'm gonna cry me a river
Wash my blues away, yeah
I'm gonna cry me a river
Girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah
Mm baby, come take me away... ah yeah
