Going down to the river to throw myself in
Before I let another woman do me wrong again
Before I let another woman do me wrong again
I'm going down the Rappahanock RIver, mama, throw myself in
Aw but what the hell, no I ain't gonna cry
I'll just lay down by the tracks, hop the first train to roll on by
Hope the first train to roll on by
What the hell, brother, this time I ain't gonna cry
Like them railroad men, I'll drink my weight in wine
I'm-a steal a Bamy mama, get another woman on the side
Steal a Bamy mama, another on the side
And like them Memphis railroad men I'll drink my weight in three-dollar wine
I may look forty-eight but I'm twenty-five years old
But you never give a damn once you make friends with Turkey and Crow
Once you make good friends with Turkey and Crow
I may look forty-eight but babe I'm twenty-five years old
There ain't no turning back from this path I chose
I got the river up ahead, a restless feeling in my bones
Just a restless, old feeling rattling in my bones
There ain't no turning back from this wicked, old path I chose
I ain't never turning back from this wicked, old path I chose
