I come from down in valley[00:00:16]

where mister when you're young[00:00:21]

they bring you up to do[00:00:25]

like your daddy done[00:00:29]

Me and Mary we met in high school[00:00:33]

when she was just seventeen[00:00:37]

we'd drive out of this valley[00:00:41]

down to where the fields were green[00:00:46]

We'd go down to the river[00:00:51]

and into the river we'd dive[00:00:55]

oh down to the river we'd ride[00:00:59]

Then I got Mary pregnant[00:01:08]

and man that was all she wrote[00:01:12]

and for my nineteenth birthday[00:01:16]

I got a union card and a wedding coat[00:01:19]

we went down to the courthouse[00:01:24]

and the judge put it all to rest[00:01:28]

no wedding day smiles[00:01:32]

no walk down the aisle[00:01:35]

no flowers[00:01:37]

no wedding dress[00:01:38]

That night we went down to the river[00:01:40]

and into the river we'd dive[00:01:45]

oh down to the river we'd ride[00:01:48]

I got a job working constrction[00:02:32]

for the johnstown company[00:02:36]

but lately there ain't been much work[00:02:41]

on account of the economy[00:02:44]

Now all them things that seemed so important[00:02:48]

well mister they vanished right into the air[00:02:52]

now I just act like I don't remember[00:02:56]

Mary acts like she don't care[00:03:00]

But I remember us riding in my brother's car[00:03:04]

Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir[00:03:09]

at night on them banks I'd lie awake[00:03:13]

and pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take[00:03:17]

Now those memories come back to haunt me[00:03:21]

They haunt me like a curse[00:03:25]

is a dream a lie if it don't come true[00:03:29]

or is it something worse[00:03:33]

that sends me down to the river[00:03:37]

though I know the river is dry[00:03:41]

that sends me down to the river[00:03:45]

tonight[00:03:49]

Down to the river[00:03:54]

My baby and I[00:03:58]

oh down to the river we ride[00:04:01]

oh down to the river we ride[00:04:01]
