I Went Down

I went down to the river (down to the river) Don't know what came over me Cos down by the river (down by the river) Isn't where I ought to be Down by the river You must have heard those song Down by the river is where no good comes from Joni sang of heartbreak And wanting to skate away The Goddamn river never froze Not even on Christmas day And JR's wife was taken The one with the Southern drawl Cos down at that big river Her name was being called I went down to the river (down to the river) Don't know what came over me Cos down by the river (down by the river) Isn't where I ought to be Down by the river You must have heard those songs Down by the river is where no love belongs A shotgun wedding, a broken heart Prison time for some Charlie killed his Knoxville girl And dumped her body where the waters run I came down to try and drown The devil inside me But Mr Young saw what I done Now I'll never be free I went down to the river (down to the river) Don't know what came over me Cos down by the river (down by the river) Isn't where I ought to be Down by the river You must have heard those songs Down by the river is where no good comes from Down by the river is where no good comes from
