I'm gonna take my blues to the river
Cause they cannot stay
Gonna throw them into the water
Let them drift away
Like wood
Gonna gather up all of my friends
And we'll leave this town
We're gonna go right down to the river
Pass the bottle right on round
It's all good
Just like it should
I've been feeling mighty lonesome
Bout to lose my mind
When we go on down to the river
I can leave all of my cares be...
I'm gonna get me a girl who can swing dance
And we'll swing all night
We'll trip in front of the fire
Man she's outta sight
She's so cool
I got a feeling down in my soul
That I can't explain
Cause stars and sand and water
Make me featherbrained
But I ain't no fool
It's just what we do
I've been feeling mighty lonesome
Bout to lose my mind
When we go on down to the river
I can leave all of my cares be...
I feel alright
We're gettin down tonight
I've felt this way before
So gather round, let's sing and shout
We'll have ourselves a ball
Don't you know we ain't gonna have
A single care at all
Whoa baby
I've been feeling mighty lonesome
Bout to lose my mind
When we go on down to the river
I can leave all of my cares be...
