Live in a river town, it's pretty little

 It's high on the sides and it sinks in the middle

If it rains too much the river comes down

 And fills up the low spots all over town

Chorus

 Get down river, river get down

 Won't you get down river, river get down

 Once again you have messed up this old town

 So get down river, get down

Now over cross town is where I want to go

 To see my honey but I don't know

Guess I'm gonna have to row

 Looks like the Gulf of Mexico down by the Texaco

 Get down river, river get down

 Won't you get down river, river get down

 Once again you have messed up this old town

 So get down river, get down

 Bridge/Solo - , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Well you could drown downtown when the river runs wild

 Been happening here ever since I was child

There ain't nothing you can do to stop it

 Just hope for the best and mop up the rest

 Get down river, river get down

 Won't you get down river, river get down

 Once again you have messed up this old town

Outro

 So get down river, get down

 Ya get down river, get down

 Go on get down river, get down
