Down by the River

Bring me down
Down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
Cause all your words have failed to deliver baby
But you can’t prove me wrong
hey!
All wrapped up
With handsome clothes
Spit shine lacquered shoe
I will rest in the grave I chose
But I’m never gonna be your fool
Don’t need faith 'cause I don’t have money and the two are best of friends
So won’t you please stay away from me honey
And I’ll hold down my end
Bring me down
Down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
Cause all your words have failed to deliver baby
But you can’t prove me wrong
Lowered down with sailors' ropes
And flowers by my side
Find the tears inside you to thank god you’re still alive
So sing your songs and say your prayers
And buy your heavy heart
One road ends you can be damn certain
Other roads will start
Bring me down
Down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
Cause all your words have failed to deliver baby
But you can’t prove me
But you can’t prove me
Bring me down
Down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
Cause all your words have failed to deliver baby
But you can’t prove me
Oooh
Will this hole
Save my soul
Bring me down
Down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
And all your words have failed to deliver baby
But you can’t prove me
But you can’t prove me
Bring me down
Down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
And all your words have failed to deliver baby
But you can’t prove me
But you can’t prove me
But you can’t prove me wrong
