Down By the River

Bouncing of the bottom, Lord
Drowning in despair
Used to think there was no satisfaction anywhere
Now I’m walking everyday big smile on my face
Everybody’s asking me where I found the state of grace
Say, where you’ve been?
Down by the river
Are you going again?
Down by the river
What you’re gonna do then?
Down by the river
Get on my knees and pray
Gonna talk it out
Down by the river
What’s it all about?
Down by the river
Not a shadow of doubt
Down by the river
Thank you Lord, I’m saved
Everyone around the world
No matter who they be
Men and women, boys and girls
Sinners just like me
Rich, poor and hypocrites all benefit the same
Make a trip, take the dip
Brother, you’ll be glad you came
Say, where you’ve been?
Down by the river
Are you going again?
Down by the river
What you’re gonna do then?
Down by the river
Get on my knees and pray
Gonna talk it out
Down by the river
That’s what’s it all about
Down by the river
Not a shadow of doubt
Down by the river
Thank you Lord, I’m saved
You may have a high or low opinion of yourself
But either way don’t think that you’re above nobody else, well, well
There’s all kinds of right and wrong we’re all going do
Keep in mind there comes a time there will be asked of you
Say, where you’ve been?
Down by the river
Are you going again?
Down by the river
What you’re gonna do then?
Down by the river
Get on my knees and pray
Gonna talk it out
Down by the river
That’s what’s it all about
Down by the river
Not one shadow of doubt
Down by the river
Thank you Lord, I’m saved
Say, where you’ve been?
Down by the river
Are you going again?
Down by the river
What you’re gonna do then?
Down by the river
Get on my knees and pray
Gonna talk it out
Down by the river
That’s what’s it all about
Down by the river
Not one shadow of doubt
Down by the river
Thank you Lord, I’m saved
