elk river - the slocan ramblers lyrics

Loading...

way out west where the crows nest pass
the old elk river cold and fast
i been right here all my life
i’ll die here too but that’s alright

that old mountain town
where the soul of a man is often found
that old mountain town
lord have mercy if it drags you down

so pour the whisky it’s friday night
i won’t be elk for all my life
ain’t got nothing but i feel alright
the sun come up through the morning light

maybe i should settle down
find me a women to take my vows
maybe keep rambling round
there’s a lot of pretty women in this old town

there’s always a city where things move fast
you gotta make money if you’re gonna last
even your neighbor won’t know your name
you’re just another face, all the same

but under these long tall pines
put your feet in the water by the riverside
thinking i’ll take my time
ain’t got no use for a worried mind
my dad worked all his life
never saved a nickel, though he’d try
from the age of ten to forty nine
digging up coal from the mountainside

in those black dust blinds
till it broke his body and it broke his mind
left this world behind
three kids and a loving wife

if my soul cross to the other side
i won’t need heaven to be satisfied
if it ain’t here in this life
nothin up above gonna make it right

under these long tall pines
put my feet in the water by the riverside
thinking i’ll take my time
as close to heaven as you’ll ever find
