Going to the River - Fats Domino

Going to the River
Written by: Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino

Going to the River Lyrics

I'm goin' to the river,
Gonna overboard and drown
I'm goin' to the river,
Gonna jump overboard and drown
Because the girl I love
She just done let me down

When she left me
I bowed my head and cried
When she left me,
I bowed my head and cried
I never thought I would be
I would be the one to cry

Well if you see my mama,
Tell her good-bye for me
If you see my mama,
Tell her good-bye for me
I'm tired of livin'
Livin' in misery
