Townes Van Zandt - Niles river blues слова песни
by Townes Van Zandt
On the banks of the Niles I courted my love
I walked with her soft as a mournin` dove
I loved her true I swear I still do
and now she`s gone without me
I walk by the banks and give the Lord thanks
that I had the chance to court her
I don`t know why he flew her away
I don`t know why I`m left here
The Niles runs cold and clear
as cold and clear as my tears
I`ll never forget, I`ll never regret
those days on the beautiful Niles
Her name was Diane her beautiful hands
were soft as the pearls in the water
I looked in her eyes they were blue as the skies
and now I`ve gone and left her
I`ll follow her down the way to the river
follow her now, now and forever
she`s my one and only smile
on the beautiful banks of the Niles
Someday soon `neath the light of the moon
when the sun and the rain shine together
I`ll meet her down where the waters flow
and continue to flow forever
Down on the banks of the beautiful Niles
I wonder what I can be thinking
down on the banks of that beautiful river
I`ll wander, look for her forever
I`ll wander, look for her forever
