River Town River Town I can't settle down long as my woman's on the prow
They're peepin' out from behind shades the lovin' how my woman's made
I've got to get her out of this River Town

She caught the eye of another man in this River Town
Cause the fever in the man made his blood run hot in this River Town
Made him crave her like so many river men have done
And I can't stand the way he looks at her that son of a gun
River Town River Town...

Makin' a livin' ain't an easy thing in this River Town
Well I'm breakin' my back and ruinin' my hands in this River Town
But I love that woman and there ain't another man gonna take her and run around
If he passes another remark at her I'll cut him down
River Town River Town...
