Sold Down The River (Larry W. Jones 12/03/2007) (song#5178)

The love is gone that you promised neath the moon
Gone like the robins in the Fall
All my sunny days have now turned into gloom
You robbed me of dreams, big and small

I've been sold down the river in the middle of the stream
And little did I know of your deceitful scheme
I've been sold down the river on a raft that you would burn
When you laughed then I knew you would never return

The love is gone and the weather's turning cold
I'd rather this dream had an end
You must have thought better of your pearls and gold
Than to have my love as your friend

- instrumental -

Darling, you don't care how much I sit and cry
And that my heart is broken too
One of these days your own dreams may fade and die
Then you will know my love was true

I've been sold down the river in the middle of the stream
And little did I know of your deceitful scheme
I've been sold down the river on a raft that you would burn
When you laughed then I knew you would never return
