Текст песни: Niles River Blues + перевод

On the banks of the Niles I courted my love

I walked with her soft as a mourning dove

I loved her true I swear I still do

And now she’s gone without me

I walk by the banks and give the Lord thanks

That I had the chance to court her

I don’t know why he flew her away

I don’t know why I’m left here

The Niles runs cold and clear

As cold and clear as my tears

I’ll never forget, I’ll never regret

Those days on the beautiful Niles

Her name was Diane her beautiful hands

Were soft as the pearls in the water

I looked in her eyes they were blue as the skies

And now I’ve gone and left her

I’ll follow her down the way to the river

Follow her now, now and forever

She’s my one and only smile

On the beautiful banks of the Niles

Someday soon beneath the light of the moon

When the sun and the rain shine together

I’ll meet her down where the waters flow

And continue to flow forever

Down on the banks of the beautiful Niles

I wonder what I can be thinking

Down on the banks of that beautiful river

I’ll wander, look for her forever

I’ll wander, look for her forever
