My River

 

I got me a river, but Lord knows it's wide 

I got me a river, and Lord knows it's wide 

But I'm not going back, no, over to the other side 

You know I'm not going back, no, over to the other side 

 

I got me a boat and painted her blue and white 

I got me an old boat and painted her blue and white 

I'm gonna take her down to the riverside and take my boat for a ride 

Yeah I'm gonna go down to that riverside and take my boat for a ride 

and you can come on, come on 

 

I got me a river, she runs right downtown 

I got me a river, she runs right downtown 

Gonna jump on in to her muddy water to see if I just don't drown 

I'm gonna throw myself to her muddy water, to see if I just don't drown 

 

Cause I got me a river, Lord knows it's wide 

I got me a river, Lord knows it's wide 

But I'm not going back, no, over to the other 

I ain't going back no, over to the other, 

no I ain't going back over to the other side
