Down By the River
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
'Cause all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me wrong
Hey!
All wrapped up in handsome clothes
Spit-shined like her shoes
I'll rest in the grave I chose
But I'm never gonna be your fool
Don't need faith 'cause I don't have money
And the two are best of friends
So won't you please stay away from me, honey
And I'll hold down my end
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
'Cause all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me wrong
Lowered down with sailors' ropes
And flowers by my side
Find the tears inside you
To thank God you're still alive
Sing your songs and say your prayers
And bide your heavy heart
When one road ends, you can be damn certain
Other roads will start
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
'Cause all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me
But you can't prove me
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
'Cause all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me wrong
Will this hole save my soul?
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
And all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me
But you can't prove me
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
And all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me
But you can't prove me
But you can't prove me wrong
Where the poor like me belong
'Cause all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me wrong
Hey!
All wrapped up in handsome clothes
Spit-shined like her shoes
I'll rest in the grave I chose
But I'm never gonna be your fool
Don't need faith 'cause I don't have money
And the two are best of friends
So won't you please stay away from me, honey
And I'll hold down my end
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
'Cause all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me wrong
Lowered down with sailors' ropes
And flowers by my side
Find the tears inside you
To thank God you're still alive
Sing your songs and say your prayers
And bide your heavy heart
When one road ends, you can be damn certain
Other roads will start
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
'Cause all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me
But you can't prove me
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
'Cause all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me wrong
Will this hole save my soul?
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
And all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me
But you can't prove me
Bring me down, down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
And all your words have failed to deliver, baby
But you can't prove me
But you can't prove me
But you can't prove me wrong
