I'm going to the river,
Gonna jump overboard and drown.
Well, I'm goin' to the river,
Gonna jump overboard and drown.
Well, the woman I love,
She helped put me down.
Well, eve'y livin' body need,
Someone to call their own.
Yes, every livin' body need,
Someone to call their own.
Yes, I'm tired of livin',
Livin' all alone.
That's why I'm goin' to the river,
Gonna jump overboard and drown.
