I'm goin' down that river

I'm goin-a take that right hand road

I'm goin' down the river

I'm goin-a take that right hand road

Lord, I ain't gon' stop walkin'

'Till I get in sweet mama's arms

Lord, the girl I'm lovin'

She got that great long curly hair

Lord, the girl I'm lovin'

Got the great long curly hair

Lord, her mama an her papa, Lord

Sure don't allow me there

Lord, allow me

Sure don't allow me

Sure don't allow me

Sure don't allow me

Sure don't allow

Allow me there

Lord, Lord

Sho' don't allow

'llow me there

(guitar & comb)

Sun rose this mornin', baby

Lord, I was layin' down on my flo'

Lord, the sun rose this mornin'

I was layin' down on my flo'

Lord, no woman to love me

Baby, even no place to go

Lord, nobody

Love me, baby

Lord, no place

Place to go

Lord

Even no, place to go

Lordy, Lordy, Lord, Lord

(guitar)

Lord, I'm goin' away, baby

Don't you wanna go?

I'm goin' away, baby

Mama, don't you wanna go?

Lord, I'm goin' somewhere

I ain't never been before

Oh, Lord, I

Lord, I'm goin'

Goin' somewhere

I ain't never

Been befo'

Lord, Lord.

(a person claps)
