Down On The River
ALABAMA

Down on the river, it's an easy kind of life

Everybody here's feeling fine

No need to worry or get in a hurry

Nothing to spend but time


Light up a smoke and tell a few jokes

And pass the old jug around

We're gonna get right on a Saturday night

When the sun goes down


Down on the river, down on the river

Just some old boys a making a lot of noise

Down on the river, down on the river, down on the river

If anyone calls tell them, we're all down on the river


Well, we'll go fishing by the light of the moon

And bait them hooks by hand

Early in the morning take them off the line

Fry 'em all up in a pan


We gotta get home while we still got a job

Or we'll have to answer to the man

And everybody knows we gotta go

We'll be back again


Down on the river, down on the river
