Lyrics to Down River



Good to see you again, rosie

I know I’ve changed a lot since then

You’re lookin’ fine, babe



Three years that ain’t long, rosie

I still remember our song

When you were mine, babe



Times change, times change I know

But it sure moves slow

Down river when you’re locked away



Hey why didn’t you write, rosie

I stayed awake most every night

Countin’ my time babe



Oh no I ain’t mad rosie

I know you had to mind your dad

But just a line babe



Oh sure I remember Ben

Why we went all through school

Well is that right

Well he ain’t no fool



He’s a good man rosie

Hold him tight as you can

Don’t ask me why babe



Yeah nice seein’ you again rosie

Me I got things to do

Well good-bye babe



Chorus



Chorus



Rosie down river

Down river when you’re locked away

Rosie I’m losing

Down river
