Get Down, River

Live in a river town
It's pretty little, it's high on the sides
And it sinks in the middle
If it rains too much, the river comes down
Fills up the low spots, all over town

Get down river, river get down
Won't you get down river, river get down
Once again you have messed up this old town
So get down river, get down

Now all over 'cross-town's where I wanna go
To see my honey, but I don't know
Guess I'm gonna have to row
Looks like the Gulf of Mexico, down by the Texaco

Get down river, river get down
Won't you get down river, river get down
Once again you have messed up this old town
So get down river, get down

Well, you can drown downtown when the river runs wild
It's been happenin' here ever since I was a child
There ain't nothing you can do to stop it
Just hope for the best and mop up the rest

Get down river, river get down
Won't you get down river, river get down
Once again you have messed up this old town
So get down river, get down

Yeah, get down river, river get down
Go on, get down, river get down
