Verse
GWell my name is Darwin Lyin
DAnd I work on the Grand Trunk line
AmMovin' lumber down at the Muir Station
CKeeping all of the engines on time

GI work for Mr. Blanchard
DThough I never met the man
AmI take his honest wages
CAnd I come home with two tired hands
Chorus
G D C And it looks like it's raining
G D C For the third time today
G D F C And I pray it keeps coming down
Till' the river
G D F C GTakes me away .
Verse
GShe was standing on the platform
DWith a postcard in her hand
AmEven though my shy heart was racing
CI inquired did she have a man
Verse
GShe looked down at the walkway
DAnd the wind danced in her hair
AmShe told me she was a widow
CAs she whispered a silent prayer
Chorus
G D C And it looks like it's raining
G D C For the third time today
G D F C And I pray it keeps coming down
Till the river
Till the river
Till the river
G D F C GTakes me away. .

DTill' finally she would agree

Verse
GMost days I spent at the parlor
DAnd the drink got the best part of me
AmTill' I stumbled alone to the home that we made
CJust to find she decided to leave
Verse
GNow I lay here in this gutter
DWhile the poison rushes my veins
AmAnd I curse this god forsaken fever
CThat could drive any poor man insane
Chorus
G D C And it looks like it's raining
G D C For the third time today
G D F C And I pray it keeps coming down
Till the river
Till the river
Till the river
G D F C GTakes me away. .
