Lyrics
Down by the river
That's where I broke down and cried
Down by the river
That's where I lay down and died
Going down to the river for as long as I can stand
Mama told me, "Son", as she took a hold of my hand
"Water runs so deep, as deep as all my pain"
Down by the river, honey
I call out your name
Ahead down to the river
That's where I broke down and cried
Ahead down to the river
That's where I lay down and died
Going down to the river
Heartaches soaked in wine
Just lookin' for redemption
For that wanderin' soul of mine
Water runs so deep, as deep as all my pain
Down by the river
I still see your face
I said, sometimes around midnight
They'd come knocking at my door
I said, sometimes around midnight
Hellhounds found what they're looking for
Well, those flashing lights told me
Shouldn't have to say a word
Someone took my baby
Someone took away my world
All they found was a letter
I should never have let her go
The river's the only witness
The only one who knows
And the wind whispers her name
All the lonesome years
Water turns to whiskey
I drown in my own tears
Down by the river
I see my life in flames
Down by the river
I call out your name
I call out your name
Good evening, New York City
