Down at the bottom of that dirty ol' river Down where the reeds and the catfish play There lies a dream as soft as the water There lies a bluebird that's flown away Well, to meet is like springtime And to love's like the summer Her brown eyes shone for nobody but me Then autumn forever, the fool come a fallin' And the rain turned to freezin' inside of me. I'll kindle my fires with the words I can't send you And the roads I can't follow And the songs I can't sing I'll wander alone on the sleighbells of winter with the moon for a diamond and the world for a ring Well, all you young ladies Who dream of tomorrow While you're a listenin' These words will I say Cling to today with it's joy And it's sorrow You'll need all your memories When youth melts away. Well, the angel of springtime He rides down the southwind The angel of summer He does just the same The angel of autumn She's blue and she's golden And the angel of winter Won't remember your name Down at the bottom of that dirty ol' river Down where the reeds and the catfish play There lies a dream as soft as the water There lies a bluebird that's flown away There lies a bluebird That's flown away
