(Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river

Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way

(Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river

Singing songs of joy on this lovely day

(Oh yeah) 



Three singing birds told me

By sunrise he's always there in the morning

praying And blessing the day 



I heard about this little tale long time ago

But never had the faith to believe in my soul (yeah)

Now mother nature sent to me three little birds

Singing a son convincing me it was so

Now I'm on my way

Anyone come to see me this day

Tell them I'll be gone for the day 



(Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river

Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way

(Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river

Singing songs of joy on this lovely day

(Oh yeah)
