[00:12.40]I come from down in valley
[00:20.62]Where mister when you're young
[00:25.80]They bring you up to do
[00:28.74]Like your daddy done
[00:33.57]Me and Mary we met in high school
[00:37.88]When she was just seventeen
[00:42.56]We'd drive out of this valley
[00:45.55]Down to where the fields were green
[00:50.31]We'd go down to the river
[00:56.17]And into the river we'd dive
[00:59.60]Oh down to the river we'd ride
[01:08.88]Then I got Mary pregnant
[01:12.31]And man that was all she wrote
[01:16.48]And for my nineteenth birthday
[01:19.74]I got a union card and a wedding coat
[01:24.16]We went down to the courthouse
[01:29.15]And the judge put it all to rest
[01:32.72]No wedding day smiles
[01:35.78]No walk down the aisle
[01:37.89]No flowers
[01:38.83]No wedding dress
[01:40.84]That night we went down to the river
[01:45.34]And into the river we'd dive
[01:49.07]Oh down to the river we'd ride
[01:57.44]I got a job working constrction
[02:36.62]For the johnstown company
[02:39.55]But lately there ain't been much work
[02:44.36]On account of the economy
[02:48.05]Now all them things that seemed so important
[02:52.72]Well mister they vanished right into the air
[02:56.53]Now I just act like I don't remember
[03:00.40]Mary acts like she don't care
[03:05.33]But I remember us riding in my brother's car
[03:09.20]Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
[03:13.43]At night on them banks I'd lie awake
[03:17.50]And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
[03:21.67]Now those memories come back to haunt me
[03:25.23]They haunt me like a curse
[03:29.22]Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
[03:34.28]Or is it something worse
[03:37.91]That sends me down to the river
[03:41.39]Though I know the river is dry
[03:45.95]That sends me down to the river
[03:50.88]Tonight
[03:54.31]Down to the river
[03:57.43]My baby and I
[04:02.62]Oh down to the river we ride
[04:08.36]Woo
