I'm goin' to the river. gonna jump overboard and drown. I'm goin' to the river. gonna jump overboard and drown. Ya know the girl I love. She just done let me down. Now when she left me. I bowed my head and cried. When she left me. I bowed my head and cried. I never thought I would be. I would be the one to cry. If you see my mama. Tell her - tell her good-bye for me. If you see my mama. Tell her good-bye for me. I'm tired of livin' -. Livin' in misery. Aw right. If you see my mama. Tell her - tell her good-bye for me. If you see my mama. Tell her - tell her good -bye for me. Ya know I'm tired of livin' -. Livin' in misery. (Melody is sung using waa-waa's in place of lyrics). I'm going to the river. Gonna jump overboard and drown. Because the girl I love. She left and let me down
