"Goin' To The River" lyrics
Ronnie Hawkins Lyrics
(originally by Fats Domino)
Well, I'm going to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Yes, I'm going to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Because the gal I love: she's gone and left this town
Well, when she left me, I bowed my head and cried
When she left me, I bowed my head and cried
I never thought I'd be, I would be the one to cry
So, if you see my baby, tell her "Goodbye" for me
If you see my baby, tell her "Goodbye" for me
'Cause I'm tired of living, baby. Living in misery
That's why I'm going to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Yes, I'm going to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Because the gal I love: she's gone and left this town
Yes, I'm going to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Because the gal I love: she's gone and left this town
Well, when she left me, I bowed my head and cried
When she left me, I bowed my head and cried
I never thought I'd be, I would be the one to cry
So, if you see my baby, tell her "Goodbye" for me
If you see my baby, tell her "Goodbye" for me
'Cause I'm tired of living, baby. Living in misery
That's why I'm going to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Yes, I'm going to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Because the gal I love: she's gone and left this town
