I'm Going Down to the River

I'm goin' down to the river and drown myself

Well, I'm goin' down to the river and drown myself

Oh baby, oh, I'm goin' down yes and turn myself in

'Cause my baby lovin' someone else

Now you know why

I'm goin' down to the river and drown myself



I'm sick and tired of this misery

Down in my heart, way down in my heart

I'm sick and tired of this misery

Down in my heart, oh Lord

Well, I'm sick and tired of this misery

Lord have mercy, have mercy on me

I'm sick and tired of this misery

Down in my heart

So goodbye baby

(Bye baby)



Well, I got to go, so please don't cry

'Cause it's too late to cry

Bye-bye baby, well, I got to go

So please don't cry, oh no

Oh, bye-bye baby, I've got to go

That's why I called you, just to let you know

I'm goin' down to the river and drown myself
