Lyrics:
wonder bit by bit
We condescend and in the end
We lose our very souls
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
The dirty water washes down
Baby-by-by-by
Baby-by-by-by
Baby-by-by-by
Just chain my hands down, make love to my body baby
Take me slowly, don't rush this baby
Get in the drive-way
Down by the river, where you first took my hand
Down by the river, writing names in the sand
Then you're gone, cause other lives are calling
Down by
gone, the sun sets behind a weepin' willow tree
Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on, so effortlessly
Wonderin' where can his baby be
Still,
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river
waters
Baby's crying and the daylight's gone
That big oak tree is groaning
In rush of wind and a river of song
I can hear my true love moaning
Crying for
At the club there’s millionaires
And music on the scene
But I'm down by the river
Chillin' on the bank
Spending time like dollar signs
No rush, no hurry
If
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
So that I jumped in the river
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
But i got to the river so lonesome i wanted to die..., oh lord!
And then i jumped in the river
Ok love?
Here we go again
The river is very high
I'm standing next to a notice that reads
24 steps down to the ferry
The notice is next to some
gone like a punch by Mike
And I'm knocked out cold and the Vegas lights
And I don't wanna wake up 'cause I got it so bad
When you're away, it feel
rhymin'
Ridin' on the devil since I began rhymin'
Hell we bring back the meat that rap lacks
Cause like I said, we got sold down the river
And I ain't
A modern day warrior mean, mean
Today's Tom Sawyer mean, mean pride
Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve,
river by moonlight
And never were heard from again
If I had my live to live over
I'd have gone to work that day
Instead of going into town
washing down the river, see?
Everything we built will be swallowed by the sea, sea, sea, sea, sea, sea, sea, sea
Sea, sea. sea, sea, sea, sea
Swallowed
by the day
Ain't much pay for a man
Chorus:
Haulin' coal down the down river
And he won't be comin' home for a long time
Torches burning by
Swallow down this rush and keep in touch
The boy's tough, when will she have enough
I wanna find that you I used to know
Whatever happened
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but
I had already stopped by the bait shop
Filled up the cooler and the tank and the tackle box
Weatherman calling for cloudy and eighty-two
Sun down
buss-down
Two tone iced out giving man shivers
Head above water life ain't nice
Had to work to 24s just to flow like rivers
Shopkeeper no how to Pattern that
Knew a man named Catfish who lived by The River
He and Uncle Eddie taught us to drink like men
To take that pin knife to the edge of a can of Milwaukees'
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river
