Song lyrics to New River Train
Riding on that new river train
Riding on that new river train
It’s the same ol’ train that brought me here
And gonna take me back again
Darling you can’t love one
Darling you can’t love one
You can’t love one ’cause it isn’t any fun
Darling you can’t love one
Well darling, you can’t love two
Darling you can’t love two
You can’t love two, and still be true
Darling you can’t love two
Honey you can’t love three
Honey you can’t love three
Well you can’t love three, and still have me
Honey you can’t love three
Riding on that new river train
Riding on that new river train
It’s the same ol’ train that brought me here
And gonna take me back again
Honey you can’t love Bert
Honey you can’t love Bert
You can’t love Bert if you lost your shirt
Honey ya cant love Bert
Riding on that new river train
Riding on that new river train
It’s the same ol’ train that brought me here
And gonna take me back again
Well, honey you can’t love Jane
Honey you can’t love Jane
You can’t love Jane if you’re insane
Honey you cant love Jane
Riding on that new river train
Riding on that new river train
It’s the same ol’ train that brought me here
And gonna take me back again
Well darling you can love them all
Darling you can love them all
The skinny and the fat, the short and the tall
Darling you can love them all
Riding on that new river train
Riding on that new river train
The same ol’ train that brought me here
And gonna take me back again
It’s the same ol’ train that brought me here
Gonna take me back again
