lyrics

Jenny skipped the goodbye
Why oh why did she go wandering
Down among them old Georgia pines
Straight like the stone crow flies?
That old river just thundering

I've been drifting
Down, down, down
Sands are sifting
And she's waiting to be found
At the bottom
Of that river in my dreams
Oh Tallulah
Bring my one true love
Home to me

Oh, but a man's got seeds to sow
Forgive me Jenny
Girl if you only knew
Now it's late, and I must go
Forget these things I know
Da doo doo da doo...

Between the bottom and the shine of beggar's gold
Between heaven and a lullaby
Between the banks of that river where we rolled
I'll be drifting
Down, down, down, down, down

Jenny skipped the goodbye
She split the blue sky
And left me wandering here in a dream
Drifting with that old river's tide
And she's with me by my side
Floating on down the stream

I've been drifting
Down, down, down
Sands are sifting
And she's waiting to be found
At the bottom
Of that river in my dreams
Oh Tallulah
Bring my one true love
Home to me

I've been drifting
Down, down, down
Sands are sifting
Down, down, down...
