Down by the River

(Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river Waiting for the good Lord to pa*s my way (Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river 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 heard about this little tale long time ago But never had the faith to believe in my soul (yeah) Now mother sent to me three little birds Singing a son 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 (Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river Waiting for the good Lord to pa*s my way (Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river Singing songs of joy on this lovely day (Oh yeah) I heard about this little tale long time ago But never had the faith to believe in my soul (yeah) Now mother sent to me three little birds Singing a son 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 (Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river Waiting for the good Lord to pa*s my way (Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river Singing songs of joy on this lovely day (Oh yeah)
