《The River》歌词

[00:00:00] The River - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:18] I come from down in the valley

[00:00:23] Where mister when you're young

[00:00:27] They bring you up to do like your daddy done

[00:00:35] Me and mary we met in high

[00:00:38] School when she was just seventeen

[00:00:43] Wed ride out of that valley

[00:00:47] Down to where the fields were green

[00:00:53] Wed go down to the river

[00:00:58] And into the river wed dive

[00:01:02] Oh down to the river wed ride

[00:01:10] Then I got mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote

[00:01:19] And for my nineteen birthday I

[00:01:22] Got a union card and a wedding coat

[00:01:27] We went down to the courthouse

[00:01:31] And the judge put it all to rest

[00:01:35] No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle

[00:01:39] No flowers no wedding dress

[00:01:43] That night we went down to the river

[00:01:48] And into the river wed dive

[00:01:51] On down to the river we did ride

[00:02:36] I got a job working construction

[00:02:40] For the johnstown company

[00:02:44] But lately there ain't been much

[00:02:47] Work on account of the economy

[00:02:53] Now all them things that seemed so important

[00:02:56] Well mister they vanished right into the air

[00:03:01] Now I just act like I don't remember,

[00:03:05] Mary acts like she don't care

[00:03:09] But I remember us riding in my brothers car

[00:03:13] Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir

[00:03:18] At night on them banks I'd lie awake

[00:03:21] And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take

[00:03:26] Now those memories come back to haunt me,

[00:03:30] They haunt me like a curse

[00:03:34] Is a dream a lie if it don't come true

[00:03:38] Or is it something worse that sends me

[00:03:44] Down to the river though I know the river is dry

[00:03:50] To send me

[00:03:51] Down to the river and I

[00:04:00] Down to the river, my baby and i

[00:04:07] Oh down to the river we ride

[00:04:14] Oh
