` ` ==INTRO== (x2) ` ` ==VERSE== Climbing under a barbed wire fence by the railroad ties Climbing over the old stone wall I'm bound for the riverside ` ` Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind To ponder over the crazy days of my life Just sit and watch the river flow (x2) ` ` ==VERSE== Find a place on the riverbank where the green rushes grow See the wind in the willow tree in the branches hanging low ` ` Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind To ponder over the crazy days of my life Watch the river flow Ease my mind and soul Where I go (x2) ` ` Well I will go to the river from time to time Wander over these crazy days in my mind Watch the river flow Where the willow branches grow By the cool rolling waters moving gracefully and slow ` ` ==BRIDGE== Oooh, child it's love, it's lovely Let the river take it all away The mad pace the hurry, the hurry The troubles the worries, the worries Just let the river take them all away --- Flow away --- Flow away ` ` ==OUTRO== (humming, la la la) (humming, la la la) (humming, la la la)
