Live in a river town, it's pretty little

It's high on the sides and it sinks in the middle

If it rains too much the river comes down

And fills up the low spots all over town

Chorus

Get down river, river get down

Won't you get down river, river get down

Once again you have messed up this old town

So get down river, get down

Now over cross town is where I want to go

To see my honey but I don't know

Guess I'm gonna have to row

Looks like the Gulf of Mexico down by the Texaco

Get down river, river get down

Won't you get down river, river get down

Once again you have messed up this old town

So get down river, get down

Bridge/Solo - , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Well you could drown downtown when the river runs wild

Been happening here ever since I was child

There ain't nothing you can do to stop it

Just hope for the best and mop up the rest

Get down river, river get down

Won't you get down river, river get down

Once again you have messed up this old town

Outro

So get down river, get down

Ya get down river, get down

Go on get down river, get down
