On the south side of town I bury my feet in the water And watch as those boats rise with the tide of the river Oh, and I remember how she welcomes even sinners And I know it's safe to lay my head down on that south side of town And the people they ask me Boy, why'd you come all the way to our streets Just to bury your feet in the water Off the banks of the river so muddy But to me it's so easy to see The river she come and collect my beat And she carries it out to sea And hopefully you'll step up your feet And dance to the rhythm of my river and me And I ain't got no woman to lay down by my side tonight So let me take comfort in your riverside Oh, come on, baby Don't you dare be shy Our rhythm's beautiful and your banks are all too useful So go on and collect my heartbeat from me Let me feed your rhythm Splashing 'round as I'm swimming Be my company tonight On the south side of town I bury my feet in the water Letras de cancionesAnd watch as those boats rise with the tide of the river Oh, and I remember how she welcomes even sinners And I know it's safe to lay my head down on that south side of town Oh, and late at night I, I can hear my river as she cries At the sight of the bright city lights As she recalls older times When she used to blow out the candlelit Lanterns on the side of the steamboat ships And after the banjos have all stopped plucking And all of those fiddles have all stopped strumming She will blow her lullaby Through the hull as the captains close their eyes Half-drunk and ready to dream Half-drunk and ready for sleep And I ain't got no woman to lay down by my side tonight So let me take comfort in your riverside Oh, come on, baby Don't you dare be shy Your rhythm's beautiful and your banks are all too useful So go on and collect my heartbeat from me Let me feed your rhythm Splashing 'round as I'm swimming Oh, come on Be my company tonight Alright On the south side of town I bury my feet in the water And watch as those boats rise with the tide of the river Oh, and I remember how she welcomes even sinners And I know it's safe to lay my head down on that south side of town On that south side of town From Letras Mania
