River, river, soon I'm gonna be over on the other side
Water, water, I just gotta be over on the other side
Don't be long, now, 'cause I'm moving on
In the morning they're gonna find me gone
Moving over on the other side
Moving over on the other side
Come on and follow me, you'll be satisfied

On the other side the sun will shine
On the other side, everything is fine
On the other side, we'll learn to be content, I know
Where the grass is green we'll step ashore
And the air is clean, so weep no more
Leave your troubles far behind on the other side

No more lonesome city misery over on the other side
That's why ev'rybody ought to be over on the other side
Don't you tell me, "Get to work at nine"
Gonna do things in my own sweet time
I'm moving over on the other side
Moving over on the other side
Come on and follow me, you'll be satisfied

On the other side the sun will shine
On the other side, everything is fine
On the other side, we'll learn to be content, I know
Where the grass is green we'll step ashore
And the air is clean, so weep no more
Leave your troubles far behind on the other side
