Goin' To The River

I'm goin' to the river,

Gonna jump overboard and drown

I'm goin' to the river,

Gonna jump overboard and drown

Because the girl I love

She just done let me down



Now when she left me,

I bowed my head and cried

When she left me,

I bowed my head and cried

I never thought I would be,

I would be the one to cry



If you see my mama,

Tell her good-bye for me

If you see my mama,

Tell her good-bye for me

I'm tired of livin'

Livin' in misery



If you see my mama,

Tell her good-bye for me

If you see my mama,

Tell her good -bye for me

Ya know I'm tired of livin'

Livin' in misery
