Hank Snow Golden River Lyrics

Golden River Lyrics

I hate to see night shadows fall

I hate to see a moon above

For it brings me dreams of days gone by



When my darling, Lola Lee

Strolled along the shore with me

And we watched the golden river glide on by



Golden River, golden river you took my love from me

On your waves of golden hue you carried her with you

And you broke my heart a million, million ways



Now I sit and wonder why

I feel so blue and want to cry

While I watch the moon climb slowly in the sky



It was on a night like this

When she gave me her last kiss

Climbed in her birch canoe and said goodbye



Golden River, golden river you took my love from me

On your waves of golden hue you carried her with you

And you broke my heart a million, million ways
