Runnin’ Water

Did ya hear the sound of a wipper willow
Smell the smell of a moonshine still
Through the top of the clouds
I call your name
But the runnin water took you a way

Hear the hown dog's howl
Throught the cold wind blow
Through the clouds
And the coal black smoke
And the burnin sky i see your face
Like the runnin water girl you've gone away

Like the runnin water
Going through your mind
A new invison
Of a wilder life

As the boats go by
Our true love dies
Like the runnin water
Is so unkind

Tomorrow morining
I'll bring you home
If you promise me that you'll never roam
But the wells gone dry
And you'll never stay
Like the running water
You'll always stray

Like the running water
You'll always stray

Like the running water
You'll always stray
