Story behind the song
Traveling south, he stopped in south Georgia for a while.
Lyrics
Crooked River Copyright ©2015 Colin Ward
V1
Heading down south with the Keys on my mind,
Fernandina came into my sights,
But the clouds opened up and the roads turned t rivers,
Thought I’d better stop for the night
CH
Flash flood,
Crooked River,
St Mary looking down,
Flash flood,
Crooked River,
Staying here by Cumberland Sound
V2
Thought I’d stay in Georgia ‘til the weather got better,
Keys’ll be there for a while,
Then ferried tourists from the city to the island,
May never drive another highway mile
CH
BR
But then when winter came, and the wind began to blow,
The tourists didn’t want to take the boat,
So I headed south again, ‘til the sun warmed up the land,
Lit a match and burned my winter coat
CHORUS
Instrumental Harmonies Riff and Guitar
CH 2
Flash flood,
Crooked River,
St Mary looking down,
Flash flood,
Crooked River,
Goodbye to Cumberland Sound
