River Stay 'Way From My Door

River, Stay 'Way from My Door - Paul Robeson

You keep going your way

I'll keep going my way

River, stay 'way from my door

I just got a cabin

You don't need my cabin

River, stay 'way from my door

Don't come up any higher

I'm so all alone

Leave my bed and my fire

That's all I own

I ain't breaking your heart

Don't start breaking my heart

River, stay 'way from my door

You're just a lonely little river

But I have heard somebody say

That someday you may

Sweep my home away

So roll along you lonely river

And find your way out to the sea

I don't bother you

Don't you bother me!

You'll keep going your way

I'll keep going my way

River, stay 'way from my door

I just got a cabin

You don't need my cabin

River, stay 'way from my door

Don't come up any higher

I'm so all alone

Leave my bed and my fire

That's all I own!

I ain't breaking your heart

Don't start breaking my heart

River, stay 'way from my door
