The River Driver Tab por Great Big Sea

C
I was just the age of sixteen when I first went on the drive,
       F                          C            G
After six months hard labour, at home I did arrive.
   F                                 C               Am
I courted with a pretty girl, t'was her caused me to roam,
    C                 Am           Em           Am
Now I'm just a river driver and I'm far away from home.

     C
I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry,
     F                             C           G
Get drunk whenever I'm ready, get sober by and by,
    F                                   C                 G
And if this river don't drown me, it's down I'll mean to roam,
     C            F            Am            C
For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.

I'll build a lonesome castle upon some mountain high,
Where she can sit and view me as I go passing by
Where she can sit and view me as I go marching on, 
For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.

I'll eat when I am hungry and I'll drink when I am dry,
Get drunk whenever I'm ready, get sober by and by,
And if this river don't drown me, it's down I'll mean to roam,
For I'm a river driver and I'm far away from home.
