I came in three days early to meet [E] my beau.
[B] It ain't the library, [Abm] but it's keeping [E] me [B] afloat.
And it's quiet over Christmas, if you got no [E] place to go.
[B] I got my home from river [Abm] rats, the only [E] home I know.
[B]
Found myself a flophouse, and I hit the [E] streets at night.
[B] Get some grub and drink a [Abm] beer, maybe go [E] down the line.
[B] These chicks will take your money, shake a [E] young man down.
[B] It's the same in every one of [Abm] these sorry [E] river towns, [B] river towns.
Sorry [E] river [B] towns, river towns, [Abm] [E]
[B] river towns.
Sorry [E] river towns, [B] river towns.

I picked me up a bottle to take back [E] to the room.
[B] And I saw a young girl standing [Abm] in a doorway.
[E] And [B] we'd hardly started talking.
The old [E] scenario, [B] not just a letter, worked me over.
[Abm] Down [E] by the Ohio [B] river towns.
Sorry [E] river [B] towns, river towns.
[Abm] [E]
[B] Oh, river towns.
Sorry [E] river [B] towns, river towns.

When I asked her if she'd like to stay, she was down my [E] sleeve so quick.
[B] I never asked what got her started [Abm] with the sorry [E] river trace.
[B] So I get the bottle open, but something's [E] hit her nerve.
[B] And I'm looking in the mirror [Abm] at the face that I deserve.
[B]
River towns.
Sorry [E] river [B] towns, river towns.
[Abm] [E]

Sorry [E] river [B] towns, river towns.
