Get Down River Lyrics

Mike Aiken Get Down River

Live in a river town, it's pretty little
It's high on the sides and it sinks in the middle
If it rains too much the river comes down
And fills up the low spots all over town

Get down river, river get down
Won't you get down river, river get down
Once again you have messed up this old town
So get down river, get down


Now over cross town is where I want to go
To see my honey but I don't know
Guess I'm gonna have to row
Looks like the Gulf of Mexico down by the Texaco


Get down river, river get down
Won't you get down river, river get down
Once again you have messed up this old town
So get down river, get down


Well you could drown downtown when the river runs wild
Been happening here ever since I’s a child
There ain't nothing you can do to stop it
Just hope for the best and mop up the rest

Get down river, river get down
Won't you get down river, river get down
Once again you have messed up this old town

So get down river, get down
Ya get down river, get down
Go on get down river, get down
