Down at the bottom of that dirty ol' river
Down where the reeds and the catfish play
There lies a dream as soft as the water
There lies a bluebird that's flown away
Well, to meet is like Springtime
And to love's like the Summer
Her brown eyes shone for nobody but me
Then Autumn forever, the fool come a fallin'
And the rain turned to freezin' inside of me
I'll kindle my fires with the words I can't send you
And the roads I can't follow and the songs I can't sing
Well, all you young ladies who dream of tomorrow
While you're a listenin' these words I will say
Cling to today with its joy and its sorrow
You'll need all your memories when youth melts away
Well, the angel of Springtime, he rides down the Southwind
The angel of Summer, he does just the same
The angel of Autumn, she's blue and she's golden
And the angel of Winter won't remember your name
Down at the bottom of that dirty ol' river
Down where the reeds and the catfish play
There lies a dream as soft as the water
There lies a bluebird that's flown away
There lies a bluebird that's flown away
