I grew up down in the valley Where Mister, when you're young They bring you up to do Like your daddy done Me and Mary, we met in high school She was just seventeen We'd drive out of this valley Down to where the fields were green We'd go down to the river And into the river we'd dive Oh, down to the river we'd ride Letras de canciones And I got Mary pregnant Man that was all she wrote For my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat We went down to the courthouse And the judge put it all to rest No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle No flowers, no wedding dress We'd go down to the river And into the river we'd dive Oh, down to the river we'd ride I got a job workin' construction For the Johnstown Company (Company) But lately there ain't been much work On account of the economy All those things that seemed so important Well they just vanished in the air And I act like I don't remember Mary acts like she don't care And I remember ridin' in my brother's car Her body tan and wet down by the reservoir At night on the banks I'd lie awake And hold her close to feel each breath she'd take Those memories come back to haunt me Well they haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie that don't come true Or is it something worse? And we'd go down to the river And into the river we'd dive Oh down to the rive we'd ride Down to the river My baby and I Oh, down to the river we'd ride From Letras Mania
