Lyrics:
I've seen the lights of gay Broadway,
Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay,
I've strolled the Prado, I've gambled on the Bourse;
The seven
I've seen the lights of gay Broadway,
Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay,
I've strolled the Prado, I've gambled on the Bourse;
The seven
about as free
as a man can be
counting those Kentucky stars.
Dreaming all by his lonesome
content with his place in time --
Just a river fool
on good ol
like yesterday, my my how time does fly
Still I would drop by and we'd sit and reminisce
And I'd stare across the river so as not to wath him cry
Let
remembered
So many times that my memories are worn
And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well,
I've seen the lights of gay Broadway,
Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay,
I've strolled the Prado, I've gambled on the Bourse;
The seven
Eternal nights in Flyblown City
Dirt and grey gauze covers coffins
And black garland down the streets tightens bronchus
Dead presidents
Have
Dreamed about the old man
Fire in his eyes
As he stared across a river bridge
And watched a low sunrise
Nothing stops the sun he said
That much I
a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For
a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For
Judy, love the way she shake it
Drop it to the flo', gon' earthquake it
OK now ladies (Yeah)
If you know you bad (Yeah)
Don't need no man, got yo own
Yonder comes Miss Rosie. How in the world do you know?
Well, I know her by the apron and the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece
gonna win it one day
So I say
Let's go down, down by the river
It's another round, I might be the winner
Got the snake eyes vice, soon they'll be rolling
Have you seen old man Riley?
Have you seen old man Riley?
Have you seen old man Riley?
Down by the riverside
I've not seen old man Riley
I've not
man,
He earned our living with his hands
He had to cross the river every day
He picked up a union card out of the neptune yard
Mouths to feed
Wonderin' how to cross the river
On a cold and windy night
With the water ragin' higher
By the moon's shinin' light
Suddenly a man stepped
Dm F G Bb
Old man go to the river
C A7 Dm F7
To drop his bale of woes
Bb G F Dm
He could go
There was one open seat
At the end of a crowded bar
By a grungy old man
With a dirty glass and old cigar
If you're going to drink bourbon Mack
By me
by the river, with a guy just like Terry
Or maybe it was some other man
It had to be Terry, we've got to believe that
He would never hurt her
I'm
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen
There he got his parole
After four long years on a man killing charge
Tom Joad come a-walkin' down
remembered
So many times that my memories are worn
And Daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County?
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well,
life giver
Baptize me in the ways of earth
Death, rebirth and freedom
The river takes our stories away
Needs and hours, even prison terms go by
Seeds
the angelic mortal colored red
Oh the reverie!
The days of old cast away
By the shadow on that day
Anno domino the age now ends
For if they had sight to see
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen;
There he got his parole.
After four long years on a man killing charge,
Tom Joad come a-walkin' down
