Down River

Down River

Good to see you again, rosie I know I’ve changed a lot since then You’re lookin’ fine, babe Three years that ain’t long, rosie I still remember our song When you were mine, babe Times change, times change I know But it sure moves slow Down river when you’re locked away Hey why didn’t you write, rosie I stayed awake most every night Countin’ my time babe Oh no I ain’t mad rosie I know you had to mind your dad But just a line babe Oh sure I remember Ben Why we went all through school Well is that right Well he ain’t no fool He’s a good man rosie Hold him tight as you can Don’t ask me why babe Yeah nice seein’ you again rosie Me I got things to do Well good-bye babe Chorus Chorus Rosie down river Down river when you’re locked away Rosie I’m losing Down river
