[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
