Going to the River Lyrics

Lyric discussion by LieutenantNITEWOLF 

Cover art for Going to the River lyrics by Fats Domino

The song is pretty dark if you truly listen to it. The song is about suicide. Im going to the river gonna jump overboard and drown talking about taking his own life after losing the gal he loved who had left him. He then says if you see my mama tell her goodbye for me and that Im tired of living in misery.
