Down By The River

N.C Bring me down, down by the river N.C Where the poor like me belong N.C 'Cause all your words have failed to deliver N.C Baby, but you can't prove me wrong, hey! Gm All wrapped up in handsome clothes Gm Spit-shined like her shoes Cm I'll rest in the grave I chose Gm But I'm never gonna be your fool Gm Don't need faith 'cause I don't have money Gm And the two are best of friends Cm So won't you please stay away from me, honey Gm And I'll hold down my end Gm Bring me down, down by the river Gm Where the poor like me belong Gm 'Cause all your words have failed to deliver Gm Baby, but you can't prove me wrong Gm Lowered down with sailors' ropes Gm And flowers by my side Cm Find the tears inside you N.C To thank God you're still alive Gm Sing your songs and say your prayers Gm And bide your heavy heart Cm When one road ends, you can be damn certain Gm Other roads will start Gm Bring me down, down by the river Gm Where the poor like me belong Gm 'Cause all your words have failed to deliver Gm Baby, but you can't prove me, but you can't prove me Gm Bring me down, down by the river Gm Where the poor like me belong Gm 'Cause all your words have failed to deliver Gm Baby, but you can't prove me wrong Cm Bb D Gm Cm Bb D Cm Bb D Gm Will this hole Cm Bb D save my soul? Gm Bring me down, down by the river Gm Where the poor like me belong Gm 'Cause all your words have failed to deliver Gm Baby, but you can't prove me, but you can't prove me Gm Bring me down, down by the river Gm Where the poor like me belong Gm 'Cause all your words have failed to deliver Gm Baby, but you can't prove me, but you can't prove me Gm But you can't prove me wrong
