Description

I come from down in the valley, where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school, when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where fields were green

   We'd go down to the river
   And into the river we'd dive
   Oh, down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant, and man that was all she wrote
For my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles ... no walk down the aisle
No flowers ... no wedding dress

   That night we went down to the river
   And into the river we'd dive
   Oh, down to the river we did ride

Soon I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all those things that seemed so important
Well, mister, they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember ... Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true?... or is it something worse

   That sends me down to the river?
   Though I know the river is dry
   It sends me down to the river tonight
   Down to the river, my baby and I
   Oh, down to the river we ride
