Gonna Go Down The River Lyrics - Kingston Trio

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
