Driftwood On The River
recorded by Ernst Tubb

1. I'm just [A]drift-wood on the river floating [E])down the tide
I don't care where this old river, carries [A]me
I keep drifting just because my heart is [D]broken inside
And I'm [E7]tired of wishing for what can not [A]be
I may meet some bit of drift-wood lost [E7]same as I
Share a hand shake and a tender tear or [A]two
But It's always good luck now we got to [D]say good-bye
I must [E7]wander on to keep my ron-[A]da-voo

2. Though I drift through town and city I can [E7]never stay
For I find no place to call my home sweet [A]home
I don't ask for help or pitty I just [D]go my way
All I'm [E7]praying for is peace to dream [A]alone
I'm just drift-wood on the river and I'm [E7]drifting on
Till this weary river meets the deep blue [A]sea

3. Where the deep blue sea may help me to [D]forget some-one
Yes the [E7]careless one who has forgotton [A]me
In my heart I don't feel bitter over [E7]what has been
I feel sorry for the one I must [A]forget
And instead of being some-one with the [D]world to win
I'm just [E7]drift-wood on the river of [A]regret
