Lyrics:
I laid down by the river’s edge
I laid down wondering where it led
I laid down by the river’s edge
And I woke up in a river bed
There were
gone in the morning
You can try to burn down the sun
I gotta make you believe that I did not deceive
No, I did not hurt anyone
You can make me slave,
rushing like the Nile River, power we deliver
See it's (going down in mystery)
[Chorus x 2]
You know, I know, you know, I know
(It's going down in
the river on the way to the sea
If you catch a tiger by the tail, you better be ready to kill
Keep it caged it up, and your hand won't be enough to keep it
Let's go back
Back to the river and
See what's changed
Remember when
We sat by the river and
Spent our days
You and me
Down by the river when
We
about to graduate
Got touched by some angels at Callaway
Rest In Peace to the people that passed away
Been alone for so long, Tom Hanks In castaway
This
way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
(Hey, ayy)
I turn my head to the East
I don't see nobody by my side
I turn
Goodbye river
Goodbye river
Goodbye river
Back to the lecture at hand
Yes I was distracted a little
By a scratch in the middle of the pan
Washing my
you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river)
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis, but
in the rental
Ran it up on the highway for a month copped the incidental
Down to my last five ain't in a rush to move em quickly
I might buss these
When the fed rush in the dope spot
And your main man tell 'em how the coke drop
How he rain danced with me by the boat dock
I know when he did that, I
THE RIVER
IT WAS BACK IN THE DAY
WHEN TOMORROW WAS A YEAR AWAY
DOWN BY THE RIVER
NO NEED FOR CALLS NO RUSH
MAN YOU JUST SHOWED UP
WE SHARED EVERYTHING FOR
Have a baby
Have a baby by me baby, be a millionaire
Have a baby by me baby, be a millionaire
Have a baby by me baby, be a millionaire
Be
river
Dipping my feet in the cool, cool water
Someday you may find me by the banks of the river
Dipping my feet in the cool, cool water
I'll keep
Down with the devil in the dirt below
Lads me boys
Where have you gone
Down to the river with a barrel of rum
Lads me boys
Where have you gone
Lads me
to you,
Yeah alright girl we can start this over new
If you want to
Post-Chorus
(Oh woah oh) Take you by the ocean, take to the river,
(Oh woah oh) Take
woah oh, woah
Take you by the ocean, take you to the river
Oh woah oh, woah
Take you where you wanna go, anywhere you wanna go
Oh woah oh, woah
Take you
Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in
Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But when I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die oh Lord
And then I jumped in the river
Guided by the high walls and the rivers Euphrates
And the people felt safe because of the rivers
But in one night all the rivers dried up
And Oh oh oh
like
Just turn around don't rush it
Take your time they wanna see something
Ease up on the gas don't go so fast
They gone love it
Just turn around don't
Of the absence
Of pain
We are the stones
Smoothed by the river
Rough is the sand
And the water makes you shiver
I said look out across, send word down
To reach
How does my heart let go
And how do I live when she owns my mind
My body, my soul
Roll muddy river, roll on
Take her memory with you
Take it down
