I come from 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
We'd drive out of this valley
to the fields green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) down 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 card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No day smiles
No walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
We went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the river we'd ride
I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But there ain't no work
On account of the economy
Now all them things that so important
Well mister right the air
I act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tanned and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to each she'd take
Now the memories come back to haunt me
haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it worse
That sends me to the river
I know the river is dry
(Oh oh) to the tonight
...
to the river
My baby and I
(Oh oh) down to the river we ride
