Song lyrics:

I COME FROM
DOWN IN THE VALLEY
WHERE MISTER
WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG
THEY BRING YOU UP TO DO
LIKE YOUR DADDY DONE

ME AND MARY
WE MET IN HIGH SCHOOL
WHEN SHE WAS
JUST SEVENTEEN

WE'D DRIVE OUT OF THIS VALLEY
DOWN TO WHERE
FIELDS WERE GREEN

WE'D GO DOWN TO THE RIVER
AND INTO THE RIVER WE'D DIVE
OH, DOWN TO THE RIVER
WE'D RIDE

THEN I GOT MARY PREGNANT
AND MAN
THAT WAS ALL SHE WROTE

AND FOR MY
NINETEENTH BIRTHDAY
I GOT A UNION CARD
AND A WEDDING COAT

WE WENT DOWN
TO THE COURTHOUSE
AND THE JUDGE
PUT IT ALL TO REST

NO WEDDING DAY SMILES
NO WALK DOWN THE AISLE
NO FLOWERS
NO WEDDING DRESS

THAT NIGHT WE WENT
DOWN TO THE RIVER
AND INTO THE RIVER WE'D DIVE
OH, DOWN TO THE RIVER
WE DID RIDE, AYE...

AND I GOT A JOB
WORKING CONSTRUCTION
FOR THE JOHNSTOWN COMPANY
BUT LATELY THERE
AIN'T BEEN MUCH WORK
ON ACCOUNT OF THE ECONOMY

NOW ALL THEM THINGS
THAT SEEMED SO IMPORTANT
WELL, MISTER THEY VANISHED
RIGHT INTO THE AIR

NOW I JUST ACT
LIKE I DON'T REMEMBER
MARY ACTS LIKE
SHE DON'T CARE

BUT I REMEMBER US RIDIN'
IN MY BROTHER'S CAR
HER BODY TAN AND WET
DOWN AT THE RESERVOIR

AT NIGHT ON THEM BANKS
I'D LIE AWAKE
AND PULL HER CLOSE
JUST TO FEEL
EACH BREATH SHE'D TAKE

NOW THOSE MEMORIES
COME BACK TO HAUNT ME
THEY HAUNT ME LIKE A CURSE
IS A DREAM A LIE
IF IT DON'T COME TRUE
OR IS IT SOMETHIN' WORSE

THAT SENDS ME
DOWN TO THE RIVER
THOUGH I KNOW
THE RIVER IS DRY
THAT SENDS ME DOWN
TO THE RIVER TONIGHT, AYE...

DOWN TO THE RIVER
MY BABY AND I
OH, DOWN TO THE RIVER
WE RIDE, AYE...

OOH... OOH...
OOH.....
OOH... OOH...
OOH.....
