[00:17.45] i come from down in valley
[00:21.61] where mister when youre young
[00:25.68] they bring you up to do
[00:30.10] like your daddy done
[00:34.00] me and mary we met in high school
[00:38.22] when she was just seventeen
[00:42.23] wed drive out of this valley
[00:46.61] down to where the fields were green
[00:51.57] wed go down to the river
[00:56.36] and into the river wed dive
[01:00.18] oh down to the river wed ride
[01:09.12] then i got mary pregnant
[01:13.12] and man that was all she wrote
[01:17.28] and for my nineteenth birthday
[01:20.45] i got a union card and a wedding coat
[01:25.36] we went down to the courthouse
[01:29.44] and the judge put it all to rest
[01:33.37] no wedding day smiles
[01:35.71] no walk down the aisle
[01:37.85] no flowers
[01:39.03] no wedding dress
[01:40.93] that night we went down to the river
[01:45.64] and into the river wed dive
[01:49.27] oh down to the river wed ride
[02:33.19] i got a job working constrction
[02:36.95] for the johnstown company
[02:41.53] but lately there aint been much work
[02:45.06] on account of the economy
[02:49.33] now all them things that seemed so important
[02:53.34] well mister they vanished right into the air
[02:57.25] now i just act like i dont remember
[03:01.25] mary acts like she dont care
[03:05.47] but i remember us riding in my brothers car
[03:09.61] her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
[03:14.12] at night on them banks id lie awake
[03:17.64] and pull her close just to feel each breath shed take
[03:21.81] now those memories come back to haunt me
[03:26.17] they haunt me like a curse
[03:30.15] is a dream a lie if it dont come true
[03:34.45] or is it something worse
[03:37.63] that sends me down to the river
[03:42.27] though i know the river is dry
[03:45.97] that sends me down to the river
[03:50.44] tonight
[03:55.16] down to the river
[03:58.68] my baby and i
[04:02.34] oh down to the river we ride
[00:00.05]
