[00:06.96]Down by the river
[00:17.37]That's where
[00:17.58]I broke down and cried
[00:23.82]Down by the river
[00:33.84]That's where
[00:34.08]I lay down and died
[00:34.86]Going down to the river
[00:45.21]For as long as
[00:46.02]I can stand
[00:48.36]Mama told me "Son," as she took a hold of my hand "Water runs so deep, Deep as all my pain,"
[01:02.19]Down by the river, honey
[01:05.55]Lord, can
[01:06.39]I be saved?
[01:33.27]I said down by the river
[01:37.23]That's where
[01:38.82]I broke down and cried
[01:46.74]I said down by the river
[01:51.63]That's where
[01:51.84]I broke down and cried
[02:01.74]I said down by the river
[02:02.22]Heartaches soaked in wine
[02:04.50]I'm just lookin' for redemption
[02:07.98]For that wanderin' soul of mine
[02:11.22]Pull me to my knees
[02:13.92]As I drown in the pouring rain
[02:17.43]Down by the river, honey
[02:21.93]I still see your face
[02:36.09]Sometimes around midnight
[02:41.37]They'd come knocking at my door
[02:48.09]I said sometimes around midnight,
[02:52.14]Hell hounds found what they're looking for
[02:54.63]Well those flashing lights told me
[03:03.87]Didn't have to say a word
[03:05.37]Someone took my baby
[03:07.17]Someone took away my world
[03:13.17]All they found was a letter
[03:16.32]I should never have let her go
[03:19.62]The river's the only witness
[03:20.97]The only one who knows
[04:03.03]And the wind whispers her name
[04:07.53]And all the lonesome years
[04:08.04]Water turns to whiskey
[04:12.66]I drown in my own tears
[04:13.68]Down by the river
[04:18.90]I see my life in flames
[04:20.04]Down by the river honey
[04:22.89]I call out your name
[04:26.76]I call out your name
[04:28.86]I call out your name
