Down By The River

Yeah

Mm yeah, yeah
I'll be down by the river
Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way
Oh yeah
I'll be down by the river
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day
Oh yeah, yeah (ooh)

Three singing birds told me (ooh)
By sunrise he's always there in the morning
Praying and blessing the day

I've heard about this little tale long time ago
But never had the faith to believe in my soul, yeah
Now mother nature sent to me three little birds
Singing a song convincing me it was so (ooh)
Now I'm on my way
Anyone come to see me this day (ooh)
Tell them I'll be gone for the day

I'll be down by the river (yeah)
Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way
Oh yeah
I'll be down by the river (yeah)
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day
Oh yeah
Whoa

(Oh, grandpa, grandpa sings, sing-sing-sings)
I've heard about this tale long time ago
But never had the faith, don't believe in my soul, yeah yeah
Now mother nature sent to me three little birds
Singing a song, saying it was so (ooh)
Now I'm on my way (ooh)
Anyone come to see me this day (ooh)
Tell them I'll be gone for the day (ooh)

I'll be down by the river (yeah)
Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way
Oh yeah
I'll be down by the river (yeah)
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day
On this lovely day
I'll be down by the river
Singing songs of joy
Oh, oh-whoa
I'll be down by the river
