Lyrics
I'm ridin' that New River train
I'm ridin' that New River train
The same old train that brought me here
Is gonna carry me home again
Darlin' you can't love one
Darlin' you can't love one
You can't love one and have any fun
Oh darlin' you can't love one
Oh darlin' you can't love two
oh darlin' you can't love two
You can't love two and your little heart be true
Oh darlin' you can't love two
Darlin' you cant love three
Darlin' you cant love three
You can't love three and still be true to me
Oh darlin' you cant love three
Oh darlin' you cant love four
darlin' you cant love four
You can't love four amd love any more
Oh darlin' you cant love four
Darlin' you cant love five
Oh darlin' you cant love five
You can't love five you'll be sorry you're alive
Oh darlin' you cant love five
Oh darlin' you cant love six
Oh darlin' you cant love six
You can't love six six will never mix
Oh darlin' you cant love six
Oh darlin' you cant love seven
Oh darlin' you cant love seven
You can't love seven it might as well be 'leven
Oh darlin' you cant love seven
Oh darlin' you cant love eight
Oh darlin' you cant love eight
You can't love eight for a date they'll show up late
Oh darlin' you cant love eight
Oh darlin' you cant love nine
Oh darlin' you cant love nine
You can't love nine keep them danglin' on a line
Oh darlin' you cant love nine
Oh darlin' you cant love ten
Oh darlin' you cant love ten
You can't love ten when can I see you again
Oh darlin' you cant love tenDemo Videos
About This Song
New River Train is a classic American folk song that became a bluegrass standard, famously recorded by Doc Watson and countless others. The "New River" refers to one of the oldest rivers in North America, flowing through North Carolina and Virginia, and the song captures the lonesome sound of traditional Appalachian music.
