This is one of them prison songs from down around East
Texas there. That water they're talking about is the
Same water in Dink's song, "The Brazos River." Lots of
Prisoners have swum to their life across that river
Old Riley walked the water
Old Riley walked the water
On them long, hot summer days
Oh, Riley'll come when I blow my horn
Hear Riley-a-yep
Hear him come when I blow my horn
Hear Riley-a-yep
Toot, toot, toot
Hear Riley-a-yep
Toot, toot, toot
Hear Riley-a-yep
Old Riley walked the water
Old Riley walked the water
On them long, hot summer days
Hear Riley-a-yep
Hear, hear Riley-a-yep
Old Riley walked the water
Old Riley walked the water
On them long, hot summer days
