Intro: G5 , C5 , G5 , C5 , G5 , D5 , G5 , C5 , G5 - 2X
G5
Live in a river town, it's pretty little
     D5                        C5            G5
It's high on the sides and it sinks in the middle
G5
If it rains too much the river comes down
    D5                      C5        G5
And fills up the low spots all over town

Chorus:
    C5           G5           
Get down river, river get down
          D5               C5         G5    
Won't you get down river, river get down
     C5                        G5        E5      
Once again you have messed up this old town
   C5        D5          G5      C5 , G5 , C5 , G5 , D5 , G5 , C5 , G5
So get down river, get down

G5                                
Now over cross town is where I want to go
   D5                C5       G5
To see my honey but I don't know
G5
Guess I'm gonna have to row
               D5                   C5      G5
Looks like the Gulf of Mexico down by the Texaco

    C5           G5           
Get down river, river get down
          D5               C5         G5    
Won't you get down river, river get down
     C5                        G5        E5      
Once again you have messed up this old town
   C5        D5          G5
So get down river, get down

G5
Well you could drown downtown when the river runs wild
     D5                   C5           G5
Been happening here ever since I was child
G5
There ain't nothing you can do to stop it 
     D5                     C5          G5
Just hope for the best and mop up the rest

    C5           G5           
Get down river, river get down
          D5               C5         G5    
Won't you get down river, river get down
     C5                        G5        E5      
Once again you have messed up this old town
