[Verse 1]
     G
I've lived by the river all my life

Don't know nothin' but toil and strife
               C     D              G
Can't go home again, can't go home again
                        D
Well, east and west the highway roll
                   Em
Lord have mercy on my poor soul
                    C
I miss my blue eyed baby, oh
                           G
My pretty little blue eyed baby, oh

[Verse 2]
           G
Well, that river's deep and that river's wide

The devil stands on every side
               C     D              G
Can't go home again, can't go home again
                        D
Well, east and west the highway roll
                   Em
Lord have mercy on my poor soul
                    C
I miss my blue eyed baby, oh
                           G
My pretty little blue eyed baby, oh

                           G
My pretty little blue eyed baby, oh

[Verse 3]
     G
That pretty little girl I love so well

She goes to heaven, Lord I go to hell
               C     D              G
Can't go home again, can't go home again
                        D
Well, east and west the highway roll
                   Em
Lord have mercy on my poor soul
                    C
I miss my blue eyed baby, oh

My pretty little blue eyed baby, oh
