The Kingston Trio - Gonna Go Down The River lyrics

rate me

I just heard that whistle blow

Gonna go down the river once more

Well, I've got my bag and I'm ready to go

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna leave St. Louis, go to New Orleans

Eat a little bacon, eat a little beans

Have a good time like I did before

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna load that cotton on the boat by the bale

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna quit my drinkin', gonna stay out of jail

Gonna go down the river once more

Yeah, my little woman's gonna say goodbye

Wavin' her hand with a tear in her eye

Leave these docks about a quarter to four

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna ride that boat to the glory land

Gonna go down the river once more

Hey, I'll do a little dance with a riverboat band

Gonna go down the river once more

I've got my banjo ready to play

Hey, we'll shout and sing both night and day

I'll make my bed on the riverboat floor

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river

Gonna go down the river once more

Gonna go down the river once more
