I’m going down to the river
to see how deep it is today
Yes I’m going down to the river
to see how deep it is today
How much water’s in that river?
Will it wash my blues away?
I had to ask my baby’s pardon
for the things I’d done to her
Now detectives are tryin’ to figure
was it suicide or murder?
But I’m going down to the river
to see how deep it is today
How much water’s in that river?
Will it wash my blues away?
Police interrogation …
Where were you that date and time?
Man, to me that’s no kind of question
I put her life so high above mine
Please sir come down to the station
just to tell us what you know
What is your suggestion?
What’s she done? And where did she go?
I’m going down to the river
to see how deep it is today
Yeah I’m going down to the river myself
to see how deep it is today
How much water’s in that river?
Will it wash my blues away?
