The River Lyrics - Clarks

I come from 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 

Then I got Mary Pregnant and man that was all she wrote 

And 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 working construction for the Johnstown Company 

But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy 

Now 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 us riding in my brother's car 

Her body tan and wet down by the reservoir 

At night on them banks I'd lie awake 

And pull 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 if it don't come true 

Or is it something worse
