Down To The River
by Heather Bishop

I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)

Fifteen years, I've been working the rails
Five dollars a day, I've been driving nails
Up country and down, I've been working the land
Lots of time, no time to understand

I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)

Water cuts through stone, words cut through man
Dollar bills ain’t soul, gold ain't the promised land
Devil can get your tongue, whiskey can take you there
Redemption on the wind, angels are everywhere

I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down, down, down, down, down

Lay my body down by the riverside
Pile the kindling high by the firelight
Up country and down, I've been working the land
Lots of time to think, maybe I'll understand

I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)
I’m going down (to the river)
We’re all going down, down, down, down, down
To the river...
