Down on the River

(Robert Byrne - Teddy Gentry - Greg Fowler)



Down on the river it's an easy kind of 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.



Chorus:

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.



Chorus:

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...
