I cAmome from down in the Cvalley, where Gmister when you'reF young
They Ambring you up to dCo liFke your daddy dCone
Me and FMary we met in high school, when Cshe was just GseventAmeen
We'd rDmide out of that valley down to Cwhere the fields were Fgreen
We'd go dAmown to the riFver, And iGnto the river we'd dCive
Oh dAmown to the rFiver we'd Gride A
Then IAm got Mary preCgnant, And mGan that was all she wrFote
And for Ammy nineteenth birCthday I got a union cFard and a wedding cCoat
We weFnt down to the courthouse, And the jCudge put Git all to Amrest
No wedDmding day smiles no walk down in the aisle, No floCwers no wedding drFess
That night we went dAmown to the Friver, And iGnto the river we'd dCive
On Amdown to the riFver we did rGide F
I Amgot a job working consCtruction for the JohGnstown CompaFny
But laAmtely there ain't been much wCork on accFount of the ecConomy
Now aFll them things that seemed so important
Well mister thCey vanished right iGnto the aAmir
Now I just aDmct like I don't remember, Mary aCcts like she don't cFare
But I reAmmember us riding in my bCrother's car
Her body tGan and wet down at the Freservoir
At Amnight on them banks I'd Clie awake
And pull her Fclose just to feel each other Cbreath she'd take
Now those Fmemories come back to haunt me, They Chaunt me like a Amcurse
Is a Dmdream a lie if it don't come true, Or Cis it something worse that sends me
AmDown to the riFver though I Gknow the river is Cdry
That sends me Amdown to the Friver Gtonight
AmDown to the rFiver, My bGaby and CI, Oh dAmown the riFver we'd rGide
oh Amoh oh Foh oh oh exact amount of oohing depends on version
