  • 作曲 : David Munyon

    I met you in Alabama
    I'd just married your daughter
    You were sitting on the cender block steps you built
    Your ol' dog came barking
    I gave him bothof my sandwiches
    You said „Are you a preacher“
    Then you offered me a drink

    Ah the rivers seem so muddy
    And the years just keep on rolling
    Now we have a bunch of children
    And the money goes real quick
    I'd love to stay and help you
    I know you know about the road
    Sorry about the Karma I couldn't pay
    That's why I couldn't stay

    My father was from Kansas
    He grew up in the wheat fields
    Felt he had an obligation, to feed the hungry world
    War took him to the South Pacific
    He died last year of cancer
    Ruth Broadhenst was his second wife
    She followed St. Patricks Day

    Ah the rivers seem so muddy
    And the years just keep on rolling
    Now we have a bunch of children
    And the money goes real quick
    I'd love to stay and help you
    I know you know about the road
    Sorry about the Karma I couldn't pay
    That's why I couldn't stay

    You taught me how to whittle
    An' you taught me how to whistle
    And you show'd me how to skate and then to drive
    You took me to Paunka City
    My God the girls are pretty
    We drank about a half an ocean
    Then the highway took my soul

    Ah the rivers seem so muddy
    And the years just keep on rolling
    Now we have a bunch of children
    And the money goes real quick
    I'd love to stay and help you
    I know you know about the road
    Sorry about the Karma I couldn't pay
    That's why I couldn't stay

    Love will keep you guessing
    Winter winds will test you
    Broken cars will break you
    And she'll probably break your heart
    There's a billion miles of black top
    I'd recommend hot coffee
    If they ever question of me
    Tell them why I couldn't stay

    Ah the rivers seem so muddy
    And the years just keep on rolling
    Now we have a bunch of children
    And the money goes real quick
    I'd love to stay and help you
    I know you know about the road
    Sorry about the Karma I couldn't pay
    That's why I couldn't stay

    Sorry about the Karma I couldn't pay
    That's why I couldn't stay
