Diving Duck Blues

If the river was whiskey

I would be a diving duck

If the river was whiskey

I would be a diving duck

I would swim to the bottom but I would drink my way up

If you were a good woman

I would never have to roam

If you were a good woman

I would never have to roam

I'd give up drinking whiskey and I would always stay at home

River go to the ocean ocean go to the sea

Why you ain't no good woman

A mystery to me

River go to the ocean ocean go to the sea

And like a fish has got to swim you've got to make a fool out of me

If the river was whiskey

I would be a diving duck

If the river was whiskey

I would be a diving duck

I would swim to the bottom but I would drink my way up
