Flat River Mom - Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

Ferlin Eugene Husky was an early American country music singer who was equally adept at the genres of traditional honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen Top 20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and matinee-idol looks propelling a seven-decade entertainment career.

Flat River Mow Flat River Mow it's been a many a day since I washed her waters flow If I ain't got the money to pay I'm gonna walk every step of the way Cause I gotta go back to Flat River Mow The clothes on my back have been friends with the ground too long And my foolish dream of wealth and fame is gone Each day the hand of failure wakes me up at the break of dawn And tells me to go back home to Flat River Mow Flat River Mow Flat River Mow... I wonder if Mary's heart has ventured and grown fond I wonder if the baby calls her mom At night when the city lights and the neon signs come on They don't shine like the moon back home over Flat River Mow Flat River Mow Flat River Mow... Flat River Mow Flat River Mow...
