Going down to the river

There's a man I wanna see

Yeah he's the ferryman

He'll recognize me



I'm going down now to the riverside

There's a place I wanna be

I'm going to talk to the ferryman

He'll be expecting me



I'm crossing over now to the other side



Life is better there on the other side

The grass is greener there on the other side

And I I get even there on the other side

And everything will turn out all right on the other side



I'm crossing over now to the other side

The other side



I walked by the church house late last night

Yeah I walked by the church house but I didn't go inside

Cause I, I once slept with the preacher's wife

She handed me a ticket to the other side



I'm crossing over now to the other side

To the other side

To the other side
