Deep Fork River Blues Tom Paxton

Oh, the Deep Fork is a muddy river
Near my home, near my home
The Deep Fork is a muddy river
Near my home, near my home

And the Deep Fork is in Oklahoma
Near my home, near my home
The Deep Fork is in Oklahoma
Near my home, near my home

I can hear hounds baying on the river
Near my home, near my home
And I'll surely have a rabbit for my dinner
Near my home, near my home

When the sun goes down, a man gets mighty lonesome
For his home, for his home
When the sun goes down, a man gets mighty lonesome
For his home, for his home

But I don't have to stay away forever
I can go home, I can go home
I don't have to stay away forever
I can go home, I can go home

Now the Deep Fork is a muddy river
Near my home, near my home
The Deep Fork is a muddy river
Near my home, near my home
