River Lady (A Little Goodbye) - Roger Whittaker/Greg Adams

作词：Greg Adams

作曲：Greg Adams

The day the river freezes

Is the day it won't seem fair

'Cause they'll come

to get the River Lady

And I don't think they'll care

I know they'll scrape her paint off

In their same old foolish ways

Now the people see the river

But the old ship's gone away

Water turns cold and gets to freezin'

Before you even know it

the old girl's easin'

Away from her berth

round by the point

And out of our view

Off in the mist her engine's woundin'

Like on the banks that

old horn's soundin'

A little goodbye

a little I'll do what I must do

A little goodbye

a little I'll do what I must do

I know I will remember

When I cannot hear that horn

That would roll up by the mountains

As she took us through the storm

I know they've got to take her

But I can't say I approve

'Cause she's won so many battles

That I hate to see her lose

Water turns cold and gets to freezin'

Before you even know it

the old girl's easin'

Away from her berth

round by the point

And out of our view

Off in the mist her engine's woundin'

Like on the banks that old horn's soundin'

A little goodbye

a little I'll do what I must do

A little goodbye

a little I'll do what I must do

Water turns cold and gets to freezin'

Before you even know it

the old girl's easin'

Away from her berth round by the point

And out of our view

Off in the mist her engine's woundin'

Like on the banks

that old horn's soundin'

A little goodbye

a little I'll do what I must do

A little goodbye

a little I'll do what I must do

Water turns cold and gets to freezin'

Before you even know it

the old girl's easin'

Away from her berth

round by the point

And out of our view

Off in the mist her engine's woundin'

Like on the banks

that old horn's soundin'

A little goodbye

a little I'll do what I must do

A little goodbye

a little I'll do what I must do

Water turns cold and gets to freezin'

Before you even know it

the old girl's easin'

Away from her berth

round by the point

And out of our view
