Up on the bank of a big canal
Watch the water roll by, all by myself
The only sound when the hot wind blows
Is the dry cane rattling in the wind like a box of bones
Roll, water, roll
Deep and slow
She was mine for a little while
But I let her go
I can watch the road from where I sit
Scratching pictures in the dirt with a pointed end stick
Like a rabbit run, like a bobwhite fly
Like a blackbird drawing circles in the sky
Roll, water, roll
Green and deep
She was mine for a little while
Now she's yours to keep
Roll, water, roll
Green and deep
She was mine for a little while
She was mine for a little while
She was mine for a little while
Now she's yours to keep
