Am 
Down by the river 
Am 
Where the tall weeds grow 
Dm 
Thats where Im going 
Am 
Where the cold wind blows 
E 
Ive got a secret 
E7 
That Ive got to hide 
Am 
Down by the river 
Am 
On the muddy side 
 

 
Dm 
Oh, the river 
Am 
Its deep and its wide 
Dm 
Oh, the river 
Am 
Its a place to hide 
E 
Wash away the sins 
E7 
That Ive done today 
Am 
And let the water 
Am 
Carry them away

I saw him coming 
Am 
With a look in his eye 
Dm 
I knew right then 
Am 
That someone had to die 
E 
I didn't mean to

But I couldn't stop 
Am 
Now Im standing 
Am 
On the river rock

And let the water 
Am 
Carry them away

Now the sun is setting 
Am 
And the shadows are long

Am 
A mournful song 
E 
The waters rising

Up to my knees

Tell my mama 
Am 
To forgive me, please

Oh, the river

Its deep and its wide

And let the water
