Jimmie Driftwood - You Can't Keep From Lovin' The Buffalo Lyrics

(Jimmy Driftwood)

There was a young brave on the Buffalo River
He fell in love with the queen of the hills
She stole his heart and she stole his liver
They got married and he never did forgive her

Loved her in the dark, loved her in the light
Loved her in the day and loved her ev’ry night
Sat that time on a hillbilly’s nose?
You can’t keep loving on the River Buffalo
You can’t keep loving on the River Buffalo

-Solo-

A man and a woman in Kalamazoo
The doctor said, your love life’s through
Away to the Ozarks, they did go
And they loved both better on the River Buffalo

Love in the dark, love in the light
Love ev’ry day and love ev’ry night
Sat that time on a city Billy’s nose?
You can’t keep loving on the River Buffalo
You can’t keep loving on the River Buffalo

-Solo-

Now they made her a national river
The Buffalo belongs to the lovers of the world
When your boat begins to rock and your hearts begin to quiver
Old Mother Nature is ready to deliver

Love in the dark, love in the light
Love ev’ry day and love ev’ry night
The folk who live in the Ozark’s snow
You can’t keep loving on the River Buffalo
You can’t keep loving on the River Buffalo

-Solo-
