I'm a going down down down to the river
and there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
i'm a going down down down to the river
gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand
You said goodbye to me this morning and slowly walked out of my life
i don't know how i'll live without you i only know i've gotta try
I'm a going down down down to the river
and there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
i'm a going down down down to the river
gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand
The telephone has started ringing friends call to see if it is true
i don't know words to say it's over i only know that i love you
I'm a going down down down to the river
and there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
i'm a going down down down to the river
gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand
