Riverside Songtext
von Kenny Wayne Shepherd

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
