I come down in the valley
Where mister when you're young
bring you up to do
your daddy done
Me and we met in school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields were green
We'd go to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union card and a coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles
No walk down the aisle
No flowers, no dress
We went down to the river
And into the we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the we'd ride
I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been no work
On account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right the air
I act like I don't remember
acts like she don't care
But I us riding in my brother's car
Her body tanned and wet at the reservoir
At night on banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close to each breath she'd take
Now the memories come back to haunt me
They me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
(Oh oh) down to the river tonight
...
to the river
My baby and I
(Oh oh) down to the we ride
