Lyrics
Crooked River- James Ferris & The James St. North, 2019
Written by: James Ferris; Ron Cole
Chorus:
Let’s go down to Crooked River
Where everything is good and everybody’s fine
Good news I wanna deliver
So pass it on down the line
Verse 1:
He had a big ol’ smile when he told me
Life is hard and it’s pretty lonely
So live it large, even if it’s only
You might be gone tomorrow
Refrain:
Come on home baby, Come on home, make it soon
Come on home baby, you know it’s what you wanna do
Chorus:
Let’s go down to Crooked River
Where everything is good and everybody’s fine
Good news I wanna deliver
So pass it on down the line
Verse 2:
He pulled it out of his pocket and he showed me
A worn old picture of his one and only
Well she’s gone and it’s pretty lonely
But I still carry on
Refrain:
Come on home baby, Come on home, make it soon
Come on home baby, you know it’s what you wanna do
Repeat Refrain
Verse 3
I’ll never forget what he told me
The beautiful way of living that he sold me
Love it all and you’re never lonely
Really, what you got to lose
Chorus:
So Let’s go down to Crooked River
Where everything is good and everybody’s fine
Good news I wanna deliver
So pass it on down the line
Refrain:
Come on home baby, Come on home, make it soon
Come on home baby, you know it’s what you wanna do
Repeat Refrain
