|
Way down by the river, by the river, |
|
By the riverside, I was |
|
Waiting for you and softly |
|
Hummin' a tune I heard on the radio |
|
I heard a voice and turned around |
|
I thought I'd see you standing there |
|
But a little birdie opened her mouth |
|
And sang me this song |
|
v Hey there girl you've got to |
|
Listen to your own heart talkin' |
|
You've gotta get out |
|
Before everything just goes too far |
|
Pretty girl you've got to break free before |
|
You get caught up in his web |
|
And you drown in his river |
|
Way down by the river, by the river, |
|
By the riverside, I was |
|
Hopin' I'd see your face |
|
Hopin' you'd be here by my side |
|
But I guess that dream of mine is gone |
|
Along with writing love songs |
|
It's time for me to go |
|
I'm getting out and signing off |
|
Hey there girl you've got to |
|
Listen to your own heart talkin' |
|
You've gotta get out |
|
Before everything just goes too far |
|
Pretty girl you've got to break free before |
|
You get caught up in his web |
|
And you drown in his river |
|
Hey girl |
|
You've gotta listen |
|
Listen to your heart |
|
Hey girl |
|
You've gotta listen |
|
To your own heart talking |
|
Hey girl |
|
You've gotta listen |
|
Listen to your heart |
|
Hey girl |
|
You've gotta get out before you're caught up in his web |
|
Hey there girl you've got to |
|
Listen to your own heart talkin' |
|
You've gotta get out |
|
Before everything just goes too far |
|
Pretty girl you've got to break free before |
|
You get caught up in his web |
|
And you drown in his river |
