"River, Stay 'Way From My Door" is a song that was featured in the CD re-release of Frank Sinatra's 1961 studio album, Come Swing with Me!.

"Entratter, Stay 'Way From My Door"

In 1961, Sinatra performed this song under a new title. In order to captivate his audience in a comedic way near the end of his shows, he decided to do a mock representation of this song as "Entratter, Stay 'Way From My Door." The song used a similar arrangement to the initial Nelson Riddle cut from Come Swing with Me!

Lyrics

You keep goin' your way - i'll keep goin' my way (i'll keep goin' my way, you
Keep rollin' your way)
River, stay 'way from the door
I just got (me) a cabin - you don't need my (you'll never need that) cabin
River, stay 'way from the door

Don't (you) come up any higher - i'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire - that is all i own (- and you can have that phone)

I ain't breakin' your heart - don't (you) start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from the door

(stay 'way, get 'way, roll 'way, stay 'way)
(you dirty, old, muddy river, you)
(river, stay 'way from the door
