Old Riley Lyrics

Old Riley (Remastered) - The Weavers

Composed by:Huddie Ledbetter

Old riley crossed the water

Old riley crossed the water

On them long hot Summer days

Rattler rattler there's a praise in the gone

Here rattler here

He's headed for the river

Just sure as your born

Here rattler here

Here old rattler

 

Here rattler here

Hey old rattler

 

Here rattler here

He's headed for the river

Just sure your born

Here rattler here

I can hear the sheriff blowin his horn

Here rattler here

 

Here old rattler

Here rattler here

Hey old rattler

 

Here rattler here

Old riley crossed the water

Old riley crossed the water

On them long hot Summer days

He's headed to the northway

You can't go

Here rattler here

He's headed to the north through freedom land

Here rattler here

Here old rattler

 

Here rattler here

Hey old rattler

 

Here rattler here

Oh beat 'em old beat 'em old

Cheat and done gone

Here rattler here

Oh beat 'em old beat 'em old

Cheat and done gone

Here rattler here

Here old rattler

 

Here rattler here

Here old rattler

Here rattler here

Old riley crossed the water

 

Old riley crossed the water

 

On dem long hot Summer days
