Oh river town what's left intact? That way of life is now long gone Along the river there lies a town in ruin What was once good has gone away You made steel for near thirty years along the banks of the Ohio But they don't want you They don't need you anymore Gonna shut you down All that's left is the old and they're dying It was a good living a long time ago Oh river town how long's it been? Can I see you once again? The way I used to when I was young and stupid giggling frogs on the riverbank Where were you when it all shut down? I understand your apathy You can try to tie me down with bailing twine and gut me like that town
