----------------------------------------------------- Submitted by Doug ----------------------------------------------------- [D]Down at the bottom of that [G]dirty old riv[D]er [A7]Down where the [Bm]reeds and the [G]catfish [D]play [D]There lies a dream as [G]soft as the [D]water [D]There lies a bluebird that's [G]flown a[D]way To meet is like springtime, to love's like the summer Her brown eyes shown for nobody but me In autumn forever the fool come a-fallin' And the rain turned to freezing 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 stars for a diamond and the world for a ring Well all you young ladies who dream of tomorrow While you're listening these words will I say: Cling to today with its joy and its sorrow You'll need all your memories when youth melts away The angel of springtime he rides down the south wind 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 old 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 Oh there lies a bluebird that's flown away #--------------------------------------------------------------#
