Intro:
Verse I
Let me tell you of a place I know, a river clear and wide
Where an old man fishes faithfully, a bottle by his side
His salty tears flow easily, so he takes another drink
Then he wipes his eyes and casts a line, so he doesn’t have to think
Chorus:
How that Ole Whiskey River’s turning cold
That Ole Whiskey River won’t let him go
That Ole Whiskey River…….Let it flow
Verse II
There are few happy memories, that he can still recall
But he knows he chose this path in life, he knows what caused his fall
The whiskey is his blanket, and keeps him warm at night
And the river lulls him daily, and keeps his burden light
Chorus:
Still that Ole Whiskey River’s turning cold
That Ole Whiskey River won’t let him go
That Ole Whiskey River…….Let it flow
Instrumental:
Verse III
Let me tell you of a place I know, of a river clear and wide
Where an old man lays so peacefully, empty bottle by his side
His salty tears damp on his cheek, when he took his final drink
No more will he cast a line, now he doesn’t have to think
Chorus:
Cuz that Ole Whiskey River’s got his soul
That Ole Whiskey River’s not so cold
That Ole Whiskey River...Let it flow...
Let it flow...Let it flow...
