Down by the River Songtext
von Timothy B. Schmit

Let′s go down by the river
Watch the river lights
Big old paddle wheeler
Rolling through the southern night
No need in talking
You know how I feel
Every time that I'm with you
You make it all so real
Moon breaks on the water
Everything is right

Let′s go down by the river tonight


Let's go down by the river
Watch the ships come in
Every time I'm in New Orleans
I feel like I′m in love again
Good band is playing
Night is rolling on
Let′s give in to the music
Until the night is gone
Love you 'til you′re shining
Oh my, what a sight

Let's go down by the river tonight

Down in New Orleans
You know they let the good times roll on forever
Never say never
Down in New Orleans
You know they do it ′til it's alright, tight
Oh my, what a night

Down in New Orleans
You know they let the good times roll on forever
Never say never
Down in New Orleans
You know they do it ′til it's alright, tight
Oh my, what a night

I've been out in this big world
I′ve done everything
Still nobody does it
Like they do in New Orleans
They wake up dancing


Dance until they sleep
Living on their feelings
They know life won′t keep
So honey bring your moonshade
Morning comes up bright
When you're down by the river all night

All night
