[00:17.520]	I come from down in the valley
[00:21.660]	Where mister when you're young
[00:24.660]
[00:25.900]	They bring you up to do like your daddy done
[00:32.650]
[00:33.720]	Me and Mary, we met in high school
[00:38.270]	When she was just seventeen
[00:41.800]
[00:42.540]	We'd drive outta this valley down to where the fields were green
[00:50.130]
[00:52.270]	We'd go down to the river
[00:56.760]	And into the river we'd dive
[00:59.840]	Oh, down to the river we'd ride
[01:05.740]
[01:09.140]	Then I got Mary pregnant
[01:12.330]
[01:13.200]	And man, that was all she wrote
[01:17.340]	And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
[01:23.660]
[01:25.460]	We went down to the courthouse
[01:29.140]	And the judge put it all to rest
[01:32.380]
[01:33.500]	No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
[01:37.900]	No flowers, no wedding dress
[01:41.0]	That night we'd go down to the river
[01:45.750]	And into the river we'd dive
[01:49.200]	Oh down to the river we'd ride
[01:54.740]
[02:33.240]	I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
[02:38.500]
[02:41.540]	But lately there ain't been much work, on account of the economy
[02:48.190]
[02:49.370]	Now all them things that seemed so important
[02:52.130]
[02:53.329]	Well mister they vanished right into the air
[02:56.730]
[02:57.290]	Now I just act like I don't remember
[03:01.390]	Mary acts like she don't care
[03:04.680]
[03:05.440]	But I remember us riding in my brother's car
[03:09.540]	Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
[03:13.970]	At night on them banks I'd lie awake
[03:17.510]	And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
[03:21.710]	Now those memories come back to haunt me
[03:24.829]
[03:25.900]	They haunt me like a curse
[03:28.940]
[03:30.200]	Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
[03:34.180]	Or is it something worse,
[03:36.960]
[03:37.550]	That sends me down to the river
[03:42.160]	Though I know the river is dry
[03:45.880]	That sends me down to the river tonight
[03:54.920]	Down to the river
[03:58.510]	My baby and I
[04:02.500]
[04:03.110]	Oh down to the river we ride...

[00:17.520]	I come from down in the valley
