Trinity River Charley Crockett

[Chorus]
Trinity river, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river sure to get me clean
Trinity river, and it flows because I cry
Sure to keep me honest when everybody tellin’ lies

[Verse 1]
Damn scent of evening hung everywhere
Gamblers turn their cards
Drinkin' on that whiskey hard
The damn scent of evening flows all through my head
I had the sweetest dream
I was floatin' in the river, dead

[Chorus]
Trinity river, such a dirty little river
But that don’t bother me
Dirty little river sure to get me clean
Trinity river, and it flows because I cry
Sure to keep you honest even though you're tellin' lies

[Instrumental - Trumpet Break]

[Verse 2]
In this river city
Nothin' ever lasts
Beside' the lonesome blues
Steady starin' back at you
In this river city
Of one thing you can be sure
No matter what you got to give
Believe me you gonna give some more
