Well, I’ve seen a women on the river bed, she drank too much and then she was dead, oh no
And further down my own mother cried, but just inside till she was 45, it’s too late
But I don’t want to see you girl where the flow gets rough and the water spills, down down
I met a man who told me twice, live while you’re young, it’s twice as nice. Oh yeah? Oh yeah …
I saw that man further down the shore, drinking his gin, looking twice as old, wrinkled skin
But I don’t want to see you girl where the flow gets rough and the water spills, down down
So river if you must take my gal, keep her afloat and keep her well, she’s my love
And if you turn white and treat her unkind, let my raft be the first in line, please please
‘Cause I don’t want to see you girl where the flow gets rough and the water spills, down, down
So know before you jump, if you don’t look, you might not come back up, drown drown
And if that’s true, if that must be, reach your hand up and it’ll be me, love love
‘Cause I don’t want to see you girl where the flow gets rough and the water spills, down, down
