Walking down by the river
He'd take me there by the hand
We'd watch that sunset on that river
Just me and my man
Yeah, just me and my man
Walking down by the river
He asked me where I been
He said if I go with another,
He gon' push me in
Yeah, he gon' push me in
Walking down by the red bank
I found a skipping stone
Well, I took aim, I closed my eyes,
And I prayed that stone was gone
Yeah, I prayed that stone was gone
I thought about trying to hide,
I thought about running away
I thought about digging six feet deep
Down in the mississippi clay
Well, he made a hole in the river
He weighed that water down
He made a hole in the river
No, he didn't make no sound
No, he didn't make no sound
No, he didn't make no sound
Now I walk that river bridge,
That river bridge so tall
And I count all the sunsets,
And I saw him fall
Oh, I saw him fall
Well, he made a hole in the river
He weighed that. water down
He made a hole in the river,
No, he didn't make no sound
I didn't push him in,
No, I didn't push him in
Oh, I didn't push him in,
No, he'd 'a killed me if I did.
He'd take me there by the hand
We'd watch that sunset on that river
Just me and my man
Yeah, just me and my man
Walking down by the river
He asked me where I been
He said if I go with another,
He gon' push me in
Yeah, he gon' push me in
Walking down by the red bank
I found a skipping stone
Well, I took aim, I closed my eyes,
And I prayed that stone was gone
Yeah, I prayed that stone was gone
I thought about trying to hide,
I thought about running away
I thought about digging six feet deep
Down in the mississippi clay
Well, he made a hole in the river
He weighed that water down
He made a hole in the river
No, he didn't make no sound
No, he didn't make no sound
No, he didn't make no sound
Now I walk that river bridge,
That river bridge so tall
