There's a Lost River that flows
C G
In a valley where no one goes
D7 C
Where the wild water's rush
D7 G
Rumbles deep in the hush
Gone far from there now
C G
Lord I'll get back somehow
D7 C
To where the white water winds
D7 G
In the shadow of the pines
C G
Oh Lost River now I'm coming back
D7 C
To the pot-belly stove
D7 G
Where the firewood's all stacked
Come back girl go with me
C G
Your my belle my fleur-de-lis
D7 C
Where the Lost River winds
D7 G
In the shadow of the pines
Now everybody knows
C G
Where that Lost River flows
D7 C
It's someplace he's lost
D7 G
Behind bridges that he's crossed
Well he'd like to return
C G
But his bridges are all burned
D7 C
And he's much too far down
D7 G
To return to higher ground
C G
Oh Lost River now I'm coming back
D7 C
To the pot-belly stove
D7 G
Where the firewood's all stacked
Come back girl go with me
C G
Your my belle my fleur-de-lis
D7 C
Where the Lost River winds
D7 G
In the shadow of the pines
C G
Oh Lost River far over the ridge
D7 C
Now is it too late
D7 G
For me to build me a new bridge
To the bright golden time
C G
When her love was still mine
D7 C
And the world was still wild
D7 G
Like the heart of a child
C G
Oh Lost River now I'm coming back
D7 C
To the pot-belly stove
D7 G
Where the firewood's all stacked
Come back girl go with me
C G
Your my belle my fleur-de-lis
D7 C
Where the Lost River winds
D7 G
In the shadow of the pines
D7 C
Where the Lost River winds
D7 G
In the shadow of the pines
