I come from down in the valley
Where mister when you're young
bring you up to do
daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the were green
We'd go to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles
No walk the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
We went to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) to the river we'd ride
I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't no work
On account of the economy
Now all things that seemed so important
Well they vanished right the air
I just act like I don't remember
acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each she'd take
Now the come back to haunt me
haunt me like a curse
Is a a lie if it don't true
Or is it worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
(Oh oh) to the river tonight
...
Down to the river
My and I
(Oh oh) down to the we ride
