"PLACES....THE NORTH RIVER, MATHEWS COUNTY, VIRGINIA"
No matter which direction
The river takes you
The eat or west direction
The zig zagging takes you
In a northernly direction
The North Rivers
Very humble beginnings
Starts way up in the marshes
As a meandering small creek
Separating Gloucester and Mathews
As it flows down stream
The river width widens
And the Ware River
Blackwater Creek
The Severn River
And the East River
All flow into the North
As it flows into
The Mobjack Bay
And ultimately all flow
Into the Chesapeake Bay
