Lyrics:

Well, I'm goin' to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Yes, I'm goin' to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Because the gal I love, she's gone and left this town

Well, when she left me, I bowed my head and cried
When she left me, I bowed my head and cried
I never thought I'd be, I'd be the one to cry

So if you see my baby, tell her goodbye for me

If you see my baby, tell her goodbye for me
'Cause I'm tired of livin', baby, livin' in misery

That's why I'm goin' to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Yes, I'm goin' to the river, gonna jump off a boat and drown
Because the gal I love, she's gone and left this town
