Lyrics

[Chorus] Trinity river, such a dirty little river But that don't bother me Dirty little river sure to get me clean Trinity river, and it flows because I cry Sure to keep me honest when everybody tellin' lies [Verse 1] Damn scent of evening hung everywhere Gamblers turn their cards Drinkin' on that whiskey hard The damn scent of evening flows all through my head I had the sweetest dream I was floatin' in the river, dead [Chorus] Trinity river, such a dirty little river But that don't bother me Dirty little river sure to get me clean Trinity river, and it flows because I cry Sure to keep you honest even though you're tellin' lies [Instrumental - Trumpet Break] [Verse 2] In this river city Nothin' ever lasts Beside' the lonesome blues Steady starin' back at you In this river city Of one thing you can be sure No matter what you got to give Believe me you gonna give some more [Chorus] Trinity river, such a dirty little river But that don't bother me Dirty little river sure to wash me clean Trinity river, and it flows because I cry Sure to keep me honest cause everybody's tellin' lies [Instrumental - Trumpet Break] [Outro] Trinity river, muddy water risin' up Trinity river, could never drown me fast enough Trinity river, and it flows because I cry Sure to keep you honest even though you're sellin' lies
