Thread Name: Lyr Req: River Blues / Ready for the River
Subject: Lyr Req: River Blues
Does anybody know the words to "River Blues" ... a song that includes the staring lyric "I'm ready for that river, that Shivarrey river, so get that river ready for me". I'm familiar with a version done way back toward the late 70's, sung by Lynn Hardy. From what I can tell it's an old traditional jazz song. I believe it only had one verse, but I'm hoping to hear about some more. Come on there, you hot old ragtime blues catters ... give it to me.
