I'll take the blame if you'll live with my faults
Slip down the drain of the blue river waltz
I'll crack your peppers you pinch my salt
Season our supper the chopped liver waltz
If you're wantin for water I'll fetch a pitcher
The spring is up yonder it runs through the winter
The river's gone dry since they damned up the falls
But the fiddlers remember a blue river waltz
Swear by our chances curse the results
I learned to dance to the worst country waltz
Stand for our burgers our fries and our malts
The dining room gumbles it's thirstiest waltz
If you're wantin for water I'll fetch a pitcher
The spring is up yonder it runs through the winter
The river runs dry since they damned up the falls
But the fiddlers remember a blue river waltz
I'll take the blame if you'll live with my faults
Slip down that drain in our blue river waltz
