   A 
The day the river freezes 
       Bm 
Is the day it won't seem fair 
               D 
'Cause they'll come to get the River Lady 
    D                     A 
And I don't think they'll care 

  A 
I know they'll scrape her paint off 
         Bm 
In their same old foolish ways 
        D 
Now the people see the river 
        D               A 
But the old ships gone away 

A           D 
Water turns cold and gets ta freezin' 
                A 
Before you even know it, the old girl's easin' 
              C#m 
Away from her berth, round by the point 
               D 
And out of our view 

           D 
Off in the mist, her engine's poundin' 
            A 
Like on the banks, that old horn's soundin' 
             C#m                               D 
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do 
             C#m                D              A 
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do 

  A 
I know I will remember 
       Bm 
When I cannot hear that horn 
           D 
That would roll up by the mountains 
       D                   A 
As she took us through the storm 

  A 
I know they've got to take her 
      Bm 
But I can't say I approve 
             D 
'Cause she's won so many battles 
       D               A 
That I hate to see her lose 

A           D 
Water turns cold and gets ta freezin' 
                A 
Before you even know it, the old girl's easin' 
              C#m 
Away from her berth, round by the point 
               D 
And out of our view 
             C#m                               D 
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do 
             C#m                D              A 
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do 


A           D 
Water turns cold and gets ta freezin' 
                A 
Before you even know it, the old girl's easin' 
              C#m 
Away from her berth, round by the point 
               D 
And out of our view 

           D 
Off in the mist, her engine's poundin' 
            A 
Like on the banks, that old horn's soundin' 
             C#m                               D 
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do 
             C#m                D              A 
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do
