Going to the river to drown
To get me out of this town
Tell mama I've tried, tell papa I've cried
I'm going to the river to drown
A little poison won't do
Won't kick me out of my shoes
I'll be locked down in a cell 'til my body's just a shell
Going to the river to drown
To get me out of this town
Tell mama I've tried, tell papa I've cried
I'm going to the river to drown
Ain't got no excuse
For singin' the blues
Me and the devil walking side by side
Gonna catch a greyhound bus and ride
Going to the river to drown
To get me out of this town
Tell mama I've tried, tell papa I've cried
I'm going to the river to drown
I'm going now
A little knife won't do
And that gun won't shoot
Got in trouble, had to roam
Left my girl, left my home
Going to the river to drown
To get me out of this town
Tell mama I've tried, papa I've cried
I'm going to the river to drown
I'm going now
