James River

You come across the James River

For a needle and a spoon

Would you come across the James River

To be my woman again

To be my woman again

You come across the old lee bridge

For a dollar fifty in change

Would you come across the James River

For this heart of gold

For this heart of gold

You go and work for Ms. Kitty

For a decent rate of pay

Would you come across the James (River)

To be my woman again

To be my woman again

You keep a pistol in your left boot

A brush and comb in your purse

Would you come across the James (River)

To be my woman again

To be my woman again
