C5
 There's a Lost River that flows 
C5    F5                   C5
 In a valley where no one goes 
          G5           F5
Where the wild water's rush 
        G5          C5
Rumbles deep in the hush 
                    C5
Gone far from there now 
      F5                  C5
Lord, I'll get back some-how 
             G5         F5
To where the Lost River winds 
       G5            C5
In the shadow of the pines 
 
Chorus 1: 
C5               C5  F5          C5
Oh, Lost River, now I'm coming back 
       G5        F5
To the pot-belly stove 
          G5             C5
Where the firewood's all stacked 
                        C5
Oh Quebec girl, go with me 
      F5                 C5
Oh my belle, my fleur-de -lis 
          G5         F5
Where the Lost River winds 
       G5            C5
In the shadow of the pines 
 
Now everybody knows 
Where that Lost River flows 
It's someplace he's lost 
Behind bridges that he's crossed 
Well, he'd like to return 
But his bridges are all burned 
And he's much too far down 
To return to higher ground 
 
Chorus 2: 
Oh Lost River, far over the ridge 
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 
 
Repeat Chorus 1
