Title:
“Riverside Blues”
Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1: (G, Am, Bm, C)
Down by the riverside, beneath the old oak tree,
There’s a woman waits for me, in the cool evening breeze,
Her smile is like moonlight, her kisses like sweet wine,
Oh, I can’t help but lose my mind, when she’s by my side.
Chorus: (C, D, Em, C)
She’s my Riverside Blues, my sweet southern muse,
With her, I’ve got nothing to lose, oh, my Riverside Blues,
In her arms, I’m home, no more to roam,
She’s my Riverside Blues, my heart she’s forever owned.
Verse 2: (G, Am, Bm, C)
Her laughter fills the air, as we dance with no care,
Her love is beyond compare, caught in her sultry glare.
She’s the song in my heart, the rhythm in my veins,
In her love, I find no chains, only passion remains.
Chorus: (C, D, Em, C)
She’s my Riverside Blues, my enchanting ruse,
With her, I dance in rhythm and cues, oh, my Riverside Blues,
In her love, I am free, in sweet harmony,
She’s my Riverside Blues, the melody of my jubilee.
Fan’s Testimonial:
My name is Lisa Martin. I’ve loved Trim Wine from their early days. Their music has this unique charm that’s hard to describe but incredibly captivating. I remember the first time I heard “Riverside Blues”; it was like the song was speaking directly to me. It captured a feeling that’s so hard to put into words. Jonny’s voice has this raw, emotional quality that just pulls you in. Billy and Tommy’s rhythm section lays the perfect foundation. It’s like they’re telling a story with their instruments. No other band connects with me on such a deep level. I am proud to be a Trim Wine fan!
