  • i come from down in valley
    where mister when youre young
    they bring you up to do
    like your daddy done
    me and mary we met in high school
    when she was just seventeen
    wed drive out of this valley
    down to where the fields were green
    wed go down to the river
    and into the river wed dive
    oh down to the river wed ride
    then i got mary pregnant
    and man that was all she wrote
    and for my nineteenth birthday
    i got a union card and a wedding coat
    we went down to the courthouse
    and the judge put it all to rest
    no wedding day smiles
    no walk down the aisle
    no flowers
    no wedding dress
    that night we went down to the river
    and into the river wed dive
    oh down to the river wed ride
    i got a job working constrction
    for the johnstown company
    but lately there aint been much work
    on account of the economy
    now all them things that seemed so important
    well mister they vanished right into the air
    now i just act like i dont remember
    mary acts like she dont care
    but i remember us riding in my brothers car
    her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
    at night on them banks id lie awake
    and pull her close just to feel each breath shed take
    now those memories come back to haunt me
    they haunt me like a curse
    is a dream a lie if it dont come true
    or is it something worse
    that sends me down to the river
    though i know the river is dry
    that sends me down to the river
    tonight
    down to the river
    my baby and i
    oh down to the river we ride
