Crooked river, crooked man
Too late for another second pass
You can hardly keep straight on
without something holding you fast
Crooked river, crooked man
I watch the water
race round the bend
Watch the water
race round the bend
Save so much trouble
cut through that little ledge of land
Crooked river, crooked man
The things you do,
I don’t understand
Things you do,
I can’t comprehend
Is the shortest distance
between two points
the least resistant path?
Crooked river, crooked man
