I come from down in the valley |
Where mister when you're young |
They bring you up to do |
Like your daddy done |
Me and Mary we met in high school |
When she was just seventeen |
We'd ride out of this valley |
Down to where the fields were green |
We'd go down to the river |
And into the river we'd dive |
Ohhh down to the river we'd ride |
Then I got Mary pregnant |
And man that was all she wrote |
And for my nineteenth birthday |
I got a union card and a wedding coat |
We went down to the courthouse |
And the judge put it all to rest |
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle |
No flowers no wedding dress |
That night we went down to the river |
And into the river we'd dive |
Ohhh down to the river |
We'd ride yeah yeah |
Brdige: |
I got a job working construction |
For the Johnstown Company |
But lately there ain't been much work |
On account of the economy |
Now all them things that seemed so important |
Well mister they vanished right into the air |
Now I just act like I don't remember |
Mary acts like she don't care |
But I remember us riding in my brother's car |
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir |
At night on them banks I'd lie awake |
And pull her close just to feel |
Each breath she'd take |
Now those memories come back to haunt me |
They haunt me like a curse |
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true |
Or is it something worse |
That sends me down to the river |
Though I know the river is dry |
That sends me down to the river |
Tonight ahhh yeah yeah |
Down to the river my baby and I |
Oh down to the river we ride |
Ahhh yeah yeah |
