Lyrics:
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
On a bright summer's evening I chanced to go roving
Down by the clear river I rollicked along
I heard an old man making sad lamentation
He was
The preacher man says it's the end of time
And the Mississippi River
She's a-goin' dry the interest is up and
The stock market's down
And you only
tight enough to lock me
Ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
So love me if you're ever gonna love me
I
the dark riverside
He made his home there down by the riverside
They made their homes there down by the riverside
The city sprang from the dark river Thames
the good ol' days
Have a big hand shakin'
Sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan
And sing our cares away
Oh you talk about the good times
Talk
or try
Gonna stand by the water
Let that old river decide
Gonna let that river take me
Where it wants me to go
I can't find the way
That old river just
the great divide, and a white man stiff and still,
Lying there by his lonesome self, and I figured it must be Bill.
So I thought of the contract I'd made
tight enough to lock me
Ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
There ain't no rope stout enough to bind me
Sweet water, hidden river
Flows right by my place
Life is slow, fishin's good
That's how I spend my days
I've got a sun-browned local lady
She hails
River's gonna run to the sea
Baby's gonna run to the Creek Motel
And it don't mean anything to me
Old man sleeping by a cigarette store
Black bird
And the old man would sing ‘er his song
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four
Aight? Check it out (fuck that)
Word, niggas smoke too fuckin' much, man
(Check it out y'all, check it, check it out)
We can all get by if we
Near 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
Ridin' in the back of our old limousine
Wond'rin' if we pass or we fail
Took by surprise we were only alive
Laughin' 'cause the dragon had a tail
So many times that my memories are worn
[Chorus]
And daddy won't you take me back to Mulenberg county
Down by the Green River, where Paradise lay
the young man
Cuz the old man's not that dumb
The River Runs
Another day goes by
I'm looking into you
I want to spend my life
Loving you
I don't know if I
At the luxury Skaff
Old guitars and cigarettes
Man it ain't too bad
Oh flood, Red River, Red River flood
Rescue copter overhead
Spots onsite CNN
Sandbags lines
spring
I've lived in the mountains
Hunted the grizzly
Trapping the rivers and streams
Always the loner
I've treasured my freedom the most
On the banks by the river there's a house with a yard
And a mother turns away as her son falls apart
The faded red paint tells a story 'bout despair
of his moonshine
And I sat there, spellbound by his words
And ain't it funny
Where a man can find beauty?
He said "thanks for the ride, I'm glad
Now I'm a pretty big man around this town
I got me the hottest little Chevy around
My sweet little '66
She got a yellow front fender and a gray
strollin' back again
Do the river walk do-doot 'n doot do do
Do the river walk do-doot 'n doot do do
Because an old man river is sadly depleted
By
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
