G
There's a Lost River that flows

     C                   G
In a valley where no one goes

          D7           C
Where the wild water's rush

        D7          G
Rumbles deep in the hush


Gone far from there now

     C                 G
Lord I'll get back somehow

             D7          C
To where the white water winds

       D7            G
In the shadow of the pines


                  C          G
Oh Lost River now I'm coming back

       D7        C
To the pot-belly stove

          D7             G
Where the firewood's all stacked


Ah, Quebec girl, go with me

       C               G
Ah, ma belle, my fleur-de-lis

          D7         C
Where the Lost River winds

       D7            G
In the shadow of the pines


Now everybody knows

           C          G
Where that Lost River flows

     D7             C
It's someplace he's lost

       D7                G
Behind bridges that he's crossed


Well he'd like to return

        C               G
But his bridges are all burned

         D7           C
And he's much too far down

     D7             G
To return to higher ground


                  C          G
Oh Lost River now I'm coming back

       D7        C
To the pot-belly stove

          D7             G
Where the firewood's all stacked


Ah, Quebec girl, go with me

       C               G
Ah, ma belle, my fleur-de-lis

          D7         C
Where the Lost River winds

       D7            G
In the shadow of the pines


                  C        G
Oh Lost River far over the ridge

    D7        C
Now is it too late

          D7             G
For me to build me a new bridge


To the bright golden time

         C              G
When her love was still mine

        D7              C
And the world was still wild

         D7         G
Like the heart of a child


                  C          G
Oh Lost River now I'm coming back

       D7        C
To the pot-belly stove

          D7             G
Where the firewood's all stacked


Ah, Quebec girl, go with me

       C               G
Ah, ma belle, my fleur-de-lis

          D7         C
Where the Lost River winds

       D7            G
In the shadow of the pines


          D7         C
Where the Lost River winds

       D7            G
In the shadow of the pines
