Run Softly, Blue River
(Johnny Cash)

Run softly, blue river
my darling's asleep
Run softly, blue river
run cool and deep

Oh I thrill to her kisses
and she's thrilled to mine
Run softly while she sleeps
and dreams for a time

For she dreams of tomorrow
when she'll be my wife
And I pray that as peaceful
as you is our life

And if your murmuring sooths me
till I'm sleeping too
Run softly, blue river
we'll both dream with you

Run softly, blue river
my darling's asleep
Run softly, blue river
run cool and deep
