Another song born from a guitar riff by George. Dave walked in, heard it and liked it. George wrote most of the lyrics with Dave throwing in his 2 cents here and there. Our happy, let's party, come what may song. Had a blast recording the gang vocals. Sam came in while we were recording and joined in.
lyrics
Ooh! My mama told me when I was young
Don’t go to the river I pray my son
If you go to the river I swear my son
It’ll suck you in with all its fun (Guitar)
So, down to the river is where we go
Yeah, down to the river ‘cause we all know
That, down to the river is the place to go
So, down to the river, yeah, let’s all go (Guitar)
Come down to the river all the girls say
Come down to the river and let’s all play
Come down to the river all the boys say
Come down to the river let’s play all day (Guitar)
Well now, I went to the river with my girl
Yeah, I went to the river to have a whirl
Oh, we went to the river in my GTO
Yeah, we went to the river and the rest you know “Guitar”
