The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You keep going your way I'll keep going my way
River stay away from my door
All I got is a cabin you don't need my cabin
River stay away from my door
Don't come up any higher I'm so all alone
Leave my bed and my fire that's all I own
I ain't breakin' your heart so don't start breaking my heart
Oh river stay away from my door
Lord ain't I been faithful ain't I worked ain't I toiled in the sweat and sun
Lord ain't I come to you ain't I come to you and thank you
Thank you for all the good things you've done
Listen Lord I know you made that river
But won't you please try to remember that you made me
Oh Lord can't you hear me pray to you
Make that river make that river hear my plea
No I ain't breaking your heart so don't start breaking my heart
Oh river stay away from my door
