Well I'm goin' to the river, gonna jump off a boat
and drown Yes, I'm goin' to the river, gonna jump
off a boat and drown Because the gal I love, she's
gone and left this town Well when she left me, I
bowed my head and cried When she left me, I bowed
my head and cried I Never thought I'd be, I'd be

The one to cry So if you see my baby, tell her
goodbye for me If you see my baby, tell her
goodbye for me Cause I'm tired of livin', baby
livin' in misery That's why I'm goin' to the
river, gonna jump off a boat and drown Yes, I'm
goin' to the river, gonna jump off a boat and
drown Because the gal I love, she's gone and left
this town
