James River Blues Lyrics

James River Blues,
I just heard the awful news
I could steer around the rocks
But theyre bustin down the docks

James river blues
That train came on through
And the worlds gotten slow
So wheres a boat man to go

I think Ill float on down
To Richmond town
They dont need us anymore
hauling freight from shore to shore
That big iron hauls much more
than we ever could before

Ive see good men going wrong
Ive seen bad ones get it right
As that river rolls along
Ill be steppin out tonight

On the cool flow
floatin down down below
the bridge till the waters edge
From the ridge to the ledge
From the hills to the sea
Ill become a memory
James River blues
James River blues
James River blues

Old Crow Medicine Show is a folk/country group from Nashville, Tennessee. Along with original songs, the band performs many pre-World War II blues and folk songs. The style of music they perform is sometimes called alt-country, but today more often referred to as Americana.

They were formally inducted into the Grand Ole Opry at a special ceremony at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville on September 17, 2013.

Their 2004 album "O.C.M.S." was selected by CMT (Country Music Television) as one of the top-10 bluegrass albums of that year. Their current tour includes bars, festivals, and larger venues. They are best experienced in smaller settings, where their infectious high-energy style electrifies the crowd, often a mixture of older listeners and 20-somethings.

They make frequent guest appearances on A Prairie Home Companion.
