[00:13.931]There's a lost river that flows
[00:16.598]In a valley where no one goes
[00:19.517]Where the wild water's rush
[00:22.437]Rumbles deep in the hush
[00:26.683]
[00:26.948]Gone far from there now
[00:29.314]Lord, I'll get back somehow
[00:32.537]To where the wild water winds
[00:35.189]In the shadow of the pines
[00:39.178]
[00:39.968]Lost river, now I'm coming back
[00:45.297]To the pot-belly stove
[00:48.234]Where the firewood's all stacked
[00:51.165]Come back, girl, go with me
[00:53.311]Oh, my belle, my fleur de lis
[00:56.784]Where the lost river winds
[00:59.440]In the shadow of the pines
[01:05.836]
[01:13.863]Now everybody knows
[01:16.263]Where that lost river flows
[01:19.458]It's some place he's lost
[01:22.135]Behind the bridges that he's crossed
[01:25.073]
[01:25.608]And he'd like to return
[01:27.990]But the bridges are all burned
[01:31.182]And he's much too far down
[01:33.838]To return to higher ground
[01:37.305]
[01:38.631]Lost river, now I'm coming back
[01:43.948]To the pot-belly stove
[01:46.603]Where the firewood's all stacked
[01:49.542]Come back, girl, go with me
[01:51.938]Oh, my belle, my fleur de lis
[01:55.111]Where the lost river winds
[01:58.033]In the shadow of the pines
[02:04.680]
[02:12.911]Lost river, far over the bridge
[02:18.236]Now is it too late
[02:20.891]For me to build me a new bridge
[02:23.829]To the bright golden time
[02:26.481]When her love was still mine
[02:29.686]And the world was still wild
[02:32.346]Like the heart of a child
[02:36.627]
[02:37.149]Lost river, now I'm coming back
[02:42.213]To the pot-belly stove
[02:45.142]Where the firewood's all stacked
[02:48.090]Come back, girl, go with me
[02:50.756]Oh my belle, my fleur de lis
[02:53.938]Where the lost river winds
[02:56.592]In the shadow of the pines
[03:01.164]Where the lost river winds
[03:03.816]In the shadow of the pines

There's a lost river that flows
In a valley where no one goes
Where the wild water's rush
Rumbles deep in the hush
Gone far from there now
Lord, I'll get back somehow
To where the wild water winds
In the shadow of the pines
Lost river, now I'm coming back
To the pot-belly stove
Where the firewood's all stacked
Come back, girl, go with me
Oh, my belle, my fleur de lis
Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines
Now everybody knows
Where that lost river flows
It's some place he's lost
Behind the bridges that he's crossed
And he'd like to return
But the bridges are all burned
And he's much too far down
To return to higher ground
Lost river, now I'm coming back
To the pot-belly stove
Where the firewood's all stacked
Come back, girl, go with me
Oh, my belle, my fleur de lis
Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines
Lost river, far over the bridge
Now is it too late
For me to build me a new bridge
To the bright golden time
When her love was still mine
And the world was still wild
Like the heart of a child
Lost river, now I'm coming back
To the pot-belly stove
Where the firewood's all stacked
Come back, girl, go with me
Oh my belle, my fleur de lis
Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines
Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines
