Lyrics:
Somebody told me, I know where to go
Somebody showed me, I was last to know
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down
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
revealed
A waterfall, his madrigal
An inland sea, his symphony
Undinal songs
Urge the sailors on
'Til lured by the sirens' cry
Now as the river
fear
You may cry me a river
I cried a river for you
Yes I cried a river for you
Turn back the tide of life, I cried - salty water runnin' down
I
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
grown
And it gets stronger stronger in every way yeah
And it gets deeper deeper everyday
And it gets higher higher day by day
Do I love you, my,
in the good ol' days
We'll have a big hand shakin'
An' sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
Oh you talk
sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are
By the rivers of Babylon ,
Where he sat down,
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity,
Late last night, I went for a walk
Down by the river near my home
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes
And I swear I'll never leave my home again
the palms of your touch
In a world of dark distractions
It can all get too much
So let's sit by an English river
'Til the water runs dry
Can we light
grown
And it gets stronger (Stronger) in every way
And it gets deeper (Deeper) every day
And it gets higher (Higher) day by day
Oh
Do I love you,
London is drowning
I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies
of alone
But then you must believe in the fallin'rain
In the morning
Bury me down by the river
Saved by the bell
Man for all seasons
down
Walkin' by the river, walkin' in the rain
Down by the depot waitin' for the train
Long time gone is the evening train
Long time blues is an achin'
the world through a veil of tears
Well, to hell with my immunity
Gonna hold you close
'Til the shadows disappear
(Rivers of mercy, yeah)
If by magic,
bleak and unkind.
Clear blue through meadows,
Darker through town,
Dear River Thames,
Stay by me, stay by me,
And don't let me down.
Dear River
a moment of glory a face comes before me the face of my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein Fraulein walk down by the river (pretend that your hands are holding mine)
followed me across the seas.
Then tell me please
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down
when he made this land
The Lord said yes, there's a plenty on hand
But I left it down by the Rio Grande
The fact is ol' boy, the stuff is so poor
I
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
Words And Music By Billy Reid
In the country lies a meadow
In the meadow stands a tree
'Neath the tree flows a river
But my fondest memory.

followed me across the seas.
Then tell me please
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down
and a pistol by his side, uh-huh
Well he rode up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode up to Miss Mousey's door
