Story Behind the Song
This was inspired by the story of Mississippi
John Hurt's life and its place within the Am-
erican mythology centering around the Missis-
sippi river. Also, for anyone standing by
the river anywhere.
Lyrics
Riverman by R. Miller 1998
Well, I am a Riverman
Lived here all my life.
In my time, I have seen it all
I don’t have to roam to see
The world, it comes to me
Well, I know you
I know where you come from
Like many more that came before
I know just what you want;
All the stories that are in my head
Carried down the riverbed.
Like every boat that pass in the night
Is just another story that the river writes.
Who’s out riding that crooked line?
Heaven before and the Devil is close behind...
Well, I am a Riverman
Lived here all my life.
And in my time I have seen it all.
All the way on down to sea
The world, it flows through me
