Lyrics

Johnson's River-Kilby Taylor

*(REFRAIN)
I'm on the banks of Johnson's River
Drinking that bourbon bottle dry
I'm on the banks of Johnson's River
Drinking that bourbon bottle dry
I love the taste of the bourbon
But it can't kill the blues inside

I read the note that she wrote me
Taped to my refrigerator door
It said "we had something good, but I just don't love you anymore"

So I went down to the garden and layed by the riverside
There were thorns in the garden and rain clouds in my eyes

*(REFRAIN)
I'm on the banks of Johnson's river
Drinking that bourbon bottle dry
I love the taste of the bourbon
But it can't kill the blues inside

I hear the train whistle blowing
Look it's crossing Bracksters bridge
I could of sworn I saw my baby through the glass
Blowing me a farewell kiss

*(REFRAIN)
I'm on the banks of Johnson's river
Drinking that bourbon bottle dry
I love the taste of the bourbon but it can't kill the blues inside
