I still don't have a single clue
By the way I feel tonight
And I'm more than sure
The flowers won't be bloomin'
I pick up dust and I know I must
Be runnin' far behind
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
I filled my pockets full of its gold
And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'
And a single word could not be heard
Years go by while I pass the time
But I just can't seem to leave
It's hard enough just to keep myself from tryin'
I think of all the people that have gone and passed me by
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
I filled my pockets full of its gold
And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'
And a single word could not be heard
I see my fair and freckled face
In the water by my side
I'm smilin' but the pain it still resides
I laugh and cry and grin so wide
You'd think I'd lost my mind
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
I filled my pockets full of its gold
And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'
And a single word could not be heard
