Sold Down The River — текст песни (Bill Monroe)

Sold Down The River - Bill Monroe

Where is the love that you promised neath the pine
Gone like the flowers in the fall
You crossed your heart now you`re double crossing mine
You`ve been petending after all

I was sold down the river to a port of broken dreams
Drifting in sorrow down the stream
Sold down the river on a ship that won`t return
When it anchors in the sea of broken dreams

I never dreamed that your love would grow so cold
Hiding behind the rainbow`s end
You must be blind for the glitter of the gold
Gold that can never find a friend

* Refrain

You`ll never know what it means to sit and cry
After your heart is broken too
Someday you`ll learn and your soul will burn and die
When some one double crosses you

* Refrain
