[Verse 1]
Well I'm standing by this river
Waiting for the flood to come
Yes I'm standing by this river
Waiting for the flood to come
You won't break my heart
So I don't stand a chance
[Verse 2]
Well let me grieve for you baby
I need to cry, cry, cry
Well let me grieve for you honey
I need to cry, cry, cry
You won't break my heart
So I don't stand a chance
You won't break my heart
So I don't stand a chance
I don't stand a chance
I don't stand a chance
And I don't stand a chance
[Verse 3]
Heading up to Caledonia
Just to watch the boats go by
Heading up to Caledonia
And I'm gonna sit there and watch the boats go by
If you won't break my heart
Well I don't stand a chance
If you won't break my heart
I don't stand a chance (x19)
