The river
Rosie anne was waiting for her man, kind and softly on the front porch swing
Reunited she thinks their family will be
She was wrong, guess she was wrong
He brought in his bag the war he left behind - Can't get rid of it, no matter how he tries
She should be happy instead of being hurt every day
So sometimes she goes away
Down by the river, to rest her soul
Down by the river, away from this mean world
Down by the river, to rest her soul
She's a small girl waitin' for her dad, it's been a long time since he held her hand
Altogether, they'll be a family
She was wrong, guess she was wrong
The fights with mom got stronger every day and she's way too young to run away
She should be playing with dolls instead of being scared every day
So sometimes she goes away
Down by the river, to rest her soul
Down by the river, away from this mean world
Down by the river, to rest her soul
I'm an old man livin' all alone, war didn't kill me, it just made a broken home
Now I can feel, my time has finally come
So bury me, please bury me
Down by the river, to rest my soul
Down by the river, away from this mean world
Down by the river, to rest my soul
Rest my soul, rest my soul
Reunited she thinks their family will be
She was wrong, guess she was wrong
He brought in his bag the war he left behind - Can't get rid of it, no matter how he tries
She should be happy instead of being hurt every day
So sometimes she goes away
Down by the river, to rest her soul
Down by the river, away from this mean world
Down by the river, to rest her soul
She's a small girl waitin' for her dad, it's been a long time since he held her hand
Altogether, they'll be a family
She was wrong, guess she was wrong
The fights with mom got stronger every day and she's way too young to run away
She should be playing with dolls instead of being scared every day
So sometimes she goes away
Down by the river, to rest her soul
Down by the river, away from this mean world
Down by the river, to rest her soul
I'm an old man livin' all alone, war didn't kill me, it just made a broken home
Now I can feel, my time has finally come
So bury me, please bury me
Down by the river, to rest my soul
Down by the river, away from this mean world
Down by the river, to rest my soul
Rest my soul, rest my soul
