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
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
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
Where that Lost River flows
D7
C
It’s someplace he’s lost
D7
G
Behind bridges that he’s crossed
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
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
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
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
