Ferlin Husky Flat River Mo Lyrics

Flat River Mo Lyrics

Chorus) 

 Flat River, MO, Flat River, MO. 

 It's been a many a day since I watched her waters flow 

 If I ain't a got the money to pay 

 I'm gonna walk every step of the way 

 Cause I gotta go, back to Flat River, MO. 

  

 The clothes on my back have been friends with the ground too long 

 And my foolish dream of wealth and fame is gone 

 Each day the hand of failure, wakes me up at the break of dawn 

 and tells me to go back home to Flat River, MO. 

  

 (Repeat Chorus) 

  

 I wonder, if Mary's heart has ventured and grown fond 

 I wonder, if the baby calls her Mom 

 At night when the city lights and neon signs come on 

 they don't shine like the moon back home over Flat River, MO. 

  

 (Repeat Chorus
