G                        D          G 
(Run softly Blue River my darlin's asleep)  
                        D           G 
(Run softly Blue River run cool and deep) 
 
 
                          D         G 
Run softly Blue River my darlin's asleep  
                       D           G 
Run softly Blue River run cool and deep 
 
 
     C                         F             C 
Oh I thrill to her kisses and she thrills to mine 
                                G7           C 
Run softly while she sleeps and dreams for a time 
 
 
           G                       D7           G 
Cause she dreams of tomorrow when she'll be my wife 
                                D7         G 
And I pray that as peaceful as you is our life 
 
 
            C                     F                C 
And if your murmuring soothes me till I'm sleeping too 
                            G               C 
Run softly Blue River we'll both dream with you
