lyrics

Meet me down by the river, meet me down there by the shore.
I need some help to hold my head above the water 'cause my baby ain't my baby no more.

When I'm not long for this world I know they'll carry my pine box low.
So walk on down with me and bring a couple coins, you can pay for my ferry home.

Meet me down by the river, meet me down there by the shore.
I need some help to hold my head above the water 'cause my baby ain't my baby no more.

"What luck is this? I know it's surely no luck of my own."
Said Old Ironsides to the lady of the night just before he took her home

He said,
"Meet me down by the river, meet me down there by the shore.
I need some help to hold my head above the water 'cause my baby ain't my baby no more."

Well, Jerry the Barber told One-Eyed Joe, "My baby done left this town. Give my love to the wife and the kids, I'm headed to the water to drown."

Meet me down by the river, meet me down there by the shore.
I need some help to hold my head above the water 'cause my baby ain't my baby no more.
