Riverside
This town has been on the river going on 300 years
Of livin' and dyin' and tryin' to get by, smiling through all of the tears
They have some stories, yeah I'll tell 'ya, did you hear how the town hall burned
Or the man who took too many liberties got his comeuppance but good
Hallelujah, Hallelujah beneath the clear blue sky
Hallelujah, glad I knew ya down by the riverside, by the riverside
Down by the riverside
When a baby comes they great her like she were a long lost friend
When the troubles come and they hold her closer than you've ever been
Yeah your mama, she was raised here and her mama she raised her right
With these people, this earth, I hope you know what it's worth to live by the riverside
Hallelujah, Hallelujah beneath the clear blue sky
Hallelujah, glad I knew ya down by the riverside, by the riverside, oh
Down by the riverside
Oh well, the church bell still tolls the hour
And the kid's they learn to love at the fair
Still the late summer nights when the moon shines right
On a girl with the long dark hair, long dark hair
They've had their share of sorrows, when the Oeillet boy died
They cried and they sobbed just tryin' to hold on to each other by his grave side
Hallelujah, Hallelujah beneath the clear blue sky, oh
Hallelujah, glad I knew ya down by the riverside, by the riverside, oh
Down by the riverside
Of livin' and dyin' and tryin' to get by, smiling through all of the tears
They have some stories, yeah I'll tell 'ya, did you hear how the town hall burned
Or the man who took too many liberties got his comeuppance but good
Hallelujah, Hallelujah beneath the clear blue sky
Hallelujah, glad I knew ya down by the riverside, by the riverside
Down by the riverside
When a baby comes they great her like she were a long lost friend
When the troubles come and they hold her closer than you've ever been
Yeah your mama, she was raised here and her mama she raised her right
With these people, this earth, I hope you know what it's worth to live by the riverside
Hallelujah, Hallelujah beneath the clear blue sky
Hallelujah, glad I knew ya down by the riverside, by the riverside, oh
Down by the riverside
Oh well, the church bell still tolls the hour
And the kid's they learn to love at the fair
Still the late summer nights when the moon shines right
On a girl with the long dark hair, long dark hair
They've had their share of sorrows, when the Oeillet boy died
They cried and they sobbed just tryin' to hold on to each other by his grave side
Hallelujah, Hallelujah beneath the clear blue sky, oh
Hallelujah, glad I knew ya down by the riverside, by the riverside, oh
Down by the riverside
