down, down, down to the river
And there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
N.C.
down, down, down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand
verse 1
You said goodbye to me this morning and slowly walked out of my life
I don't know how I'll live without you I only know I've gotta try
N.C.
down, down, down to the river
And there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
N.C.
down, down, down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand
Instrumental
verse 2
The telephone has started ringing friends call to see if it is true
I don't know words to say it's over I only know that I love you
N.C.
down, down, down to the river
And there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
N.C.
down, down, down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand
