Hank Snow - Golden River Lyrics

Recorded by Hank Snow



I hate to see night shadows fall, I hate to see a moon above

For it brings me dreams of days gone by

When my darling Lola Lee strolled along the shore with me

And we watched the golden river glide on by.



Chorus:

Golden river, golden river, you took my love from me

On your waves of golden hue, you carried her with you

And broke my heart a million, million ways.



Now I sit and wonder why I feel so blue and want to cry

While I watch the moon climb slowly in the sky.

It was on a night like this when she gave me her last kiss

Climbed in her birch canoe and sailed away.



Chorus:

Golden river, golden river, you took my love from me

On your waves of golden hue, you carried her with you

And broke my heart a million, million ways.
