(Run softly Blue River my darlin's asleep run softly Blue River run cool and deep) 

Run softly Blue River my darlin's asleep run softly Blue River run cool and deep 

Oh I thrill to her kisses and she thrills to mine 

Run softly while she sleeps and dreams for a time 

Cause she dreams of tomorrow when she'll be my wife 

And I pray that as peaceful as you is our life 

And if your murmuring soothes me till I'm sleeping too 

Run softly Blue River we'll both dream with you 

(Run softly Blue River my darlin's asleep run softly Blue River run cool and deep) 

Oh I thrill to her kisses... 

(Run softly Blue River my darlin's asleep run softly Blue River run cool and deep) 

(Run softly Blue River my darlin's asleep run softly Blue River run cool and deep)
