Down on the River Songtext
von Alabama

Down on the river it′s an easy life
Everybody here's feeling fine
No need to worry or get in a hurry
Nothing to spend but time

Light up a smoke and tell a few jokes
And pass the old jug around
We′re gonna get right on a Saturday night
When the sun goes down

Down on the river
Down on the river
Just some old boys making a lot of noise
Down on the river
Down on the river
Down on the river
If anyone calls, tell them we're all
Down on the river


We'll go fishing by the light of the moon
And bait them hooks by hand
And early in the morning we′ll take them off the line
Fry ′em all up in a pan

We gotta get home while we still got a job
Or we'll have to answer to the man
And everybody knows though we gotta go
We′ll be back again

Down on the river
Down on the river
Just some old boys making a lot of noise
Down on the river

Down on the river
Down on the river
Just some old boys making a lot of noise
Down on the river
Down on the river
Down on the river
If anyone calls, tell them we're all
Down on the river


Down, down, down, down, down, down
On the river
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Way down on the river
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Way down, way down, way down
On the river

Way down
Way down
Way down
Down on the river
Down on the river
