The song Down By The River is performed by Morgan Heritage .
Yeah, yeah, I'll be down by the river, yeah
Waiting for the good Lord to pa*s my way, oh yeah
I'll be down by the river, yeah
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day, oh yeah
Three singing birds told me
By sunrise He's always there in the morning
Praying and blessing the day
I've heard about this little tale long time ago
But never had the faith to believe in my soul, yeah
Now Mother Nature sent to me three little birds
Singing a song convincing me it was so
Now I'm on my way
Anyone come to see me this day
Tell them I'll be gone for the day
I'll be down by the river, yeah
Waiting for the good Lord to pa*s my way, oh yeah
I'll be down by the river, yeah
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day, oh yeah, oh
I've heard about this tale long time ago
But never had the faith to believe in my soul, yeah, yeah
Now Mother Nature sent to me three little birds
Singing a song, sayin' it was so
Now I'm on my way
Anyone come to see me this day
Tell them I'll be gone for the day
I'll be down by the river, yeah
Waiting for the good Lord to pa*s my way, oh yeah
I'll be down by the river, yeah
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day, on this lovely day
Down by the river
Singing songs of joy
Oh, oh yeah
River
