From the forest to the ocean

Through the mountains and the hills

Your waters know the story

And the secret they hold still

It's the secret of my lover

How I need him by my side

My love was born a lumberjack

And he's drifting o-on the tide



Blue River, Blue River

Won't you bring him back

My lumberjack to-oo me

The mountains tall, they know it all

Our love was deep and strong

Blue River won't you tell me now

The reason why he's gone



Just as sweethearts we would wander

Through the tall pines hand and hand

And write our names together

With kisses in the sand

Even though he's gone I love him

While there's north winds in the pines

And always keep a shining light

In this broken hear-eart of mine



Blue River, Blue River

Won't you bring him back

My lumberjack to-oo me

The mountains tall, they know it all

Our love was deep and strong

Blue River won't you tell me now

The reason why he's gone



Even though he's gone I love him

While there's north winds in the pines

And always keep a shining light

In this broken heart of mine...
