Lyrics

As the new river flows in the night Somewhere honey, some old hog Is stomping on the bog Like a free, like a free stream of light My heart jumps straight to you tonight Cause you're pretty, lordy knows, and you're fair And you seem like you kind...of linger there Like a hot, like a hot burnin' flame My heart jumps straight to you again For I knew, lordy knows that you're there And the New River flow, flows round the town And the king-fisher fishin' in the shoal My heart jumps straight right out of my soul And a catfish, catfish on the bottom I'm up here with the blues, lordy knows that I got 'em I hope the moonbeams shine down to you So you can sing away the whole night through As the New River flows in the night Somewhere honey, some ol' hog Is stomping on the bog Like a free, like a free stream of light My heart jumps straight to you tonight Oh, my heart jumps straight to you tonight
