Take me with you when you go
Down to the river
It's the only place I know
Where I can forgive her
Take me with you when you go
I'm tired of living life on hold
Take me with you when you go
Down to the river
Down to the river, down to the river, oh I know

Take a walk with me while it's quiet
By the river
Oh I know that she's gone
But I can forget her
Take me with you when you go
It's the only place I know
We lost the dreams that we once had
How did our lives turn out so bad?
Take me with you when you go
Down to the river
Down to the river, down to the river, oh I know
Down to the river, I can forget her
I'll stay forever and watch it flow

Take me with you when you go
Lady's bridge is where we know
How that our lives turned out so bad
We lost the dreams that we once had
We can watch the river flow
And maybe make this city slow
Take me with you when you go
Down to the river, down to the river
Down to the river, oh I know
Down to the river, I can forget her
I'll stay forever and watch it flow
