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”
