I’m going down to the river again just to watch it roll
I’m going down to the river again just to watch it roll
That cool clear water is a comfort to my troubled soul
There’s a music in the river seems to calm me down
Music in the river just seem to calm me down
When my feet feel heavy that rocky riverbed is where I’m bound
When I’m feeling lonely I go down
When my cup is empty I go down
I go down to the river and let it wash
These weary blues to another town
There’s a deep, deep pool on the bend by the old crib dam
There’s a deep, deep pool on the bend by the old crib dam
It’s deeper than my sorrow and wiser than I’ll ever understand
This river makes me feel alive
Always lets me speak my mind
This river knows me by name
Never asks no questions, just takes the blame
When I’m feeling lonely I go down
When my cup is empty I go down
I go down to the river and let it wash
These weary blues to another town
