Filling the River with Tears

As I sit here at the river
Watching the dark starry sky
Lonesome as these old mountains
I'm filling the river with tears as it rolls by

Chorus
Roll on to the ocean big river
Roll on through the flatlands below
My tears fill your cold waters
For my love has left me I know

The night birds are sharing my sorrow
Which started when you said goodbye
The whipoorwill crys with me
Filling the river with tears as it rolls by

As I sit here her memory haunts me
As I look through the long lonesome pines
I hear the train that you're riding
I'm filling the river with tears as it rolls by
