The River - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

I come from down in the valley

Where mister when you're young

They bring you up to do like your daddy done

Me and mary we met in high

School when she was just seventeen

Wed ride out of that valley

Down to where the fields were green

Wed go down to the river

And into the river wed dive

Oh down to the river wed ride

Then I got mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote

And for my nineteen birthday I

Got a union card and a wedding coat

We went down to the courthouse

And the judge put it all to rest

No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle

No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river

And into the river wed dive

On down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction

For the johnstown company

But lately there ain't been much

Work on account of the economy

Now all them things that seemed so important

Well mister they vanished right into the air

Now I just act like I don't remember,

Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brothers car

Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir

At night on them banks I'd lie awake

And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take

Now those memories come back to haunt me,

They haunt me like a curse

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true

Or is it something worse that sends me

Down to the river though I know the river is dry

To send me

Down to the river and I

Down to the river, my baby and i

Oh down to the river we ride

Oh
