Intro : Mim - Sol - Ré - Do - Lam - Sol - Mim
Mim Sol Ré Do
I come from down in the valley where mister when you're young
Mim Sol Do Sol
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Do Sol Ré Mim
Me and Mary we met in high school when she was just seventeen
Lam(2) Sol Do
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
Mim Do Ré Sol
We'd go down to the river and into the river we'd dive
Mim Do Ré Do
Oh oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteen 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 wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river and into the river we'd dive
Oh oh down to the river we'd ride
Pont : Harmonica // accord du couplet
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important, well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just 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 tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake and pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride
