Riverside

Seen her get up I seen her go down

Down to the riverside

Seen her jump into the river and drown

Down to the riverside

People'll do just what they will

Don't matter to the river it's a'runnin' still

Singin' hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm

The sun come up the sun'll go down

Down to the riverside

Sun jump into the river and drown

Down to the riverside

Every day just like the last

We sit and watch the water pass

Singin' hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm

Came a day they built a bridge

Down to the riverside

Over the way on top of the ridge

Down to the riverside

Built a bridge for the people to cross

Every other day someone jumpin' off

Singin' hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm

You think some boys they got it made

Down to the riverside

They got the money and the women and a place in the shade

Down to the riverside

There ain't no way to ease your pain

You can't listen to the river when it calls your name

Singin' hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm

Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm

Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm

Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm
