Los Lobos

Lyrics to Down On the Riverbed



Down on the riverbed

Down on the riverbed

Down on the riverbed

I asked my lover for her hand



A red tailed hawk circled overhead

A red tailed hawk circled overhead

A red tailed hawk circled overhead

The church on the hill is what she said



A monster cloud like a big black hand

A monster cloud like a big black hand

A monster cloud like a big black hand

As she drew houses in the sand



Then I heard a train whistle blow

Then I heard a train whistle blow

Then I heard a train whistle blow

And I knew it was time to go
