I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do just like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

My parents had the Bobby Gentry duet album with Glen Campbell (Little Green Apples was one of the songs) and I had the biggest 9-year old crush on her with that voice and this album cover:

Well those flashing lights told me
Didn't have to say a word
Someone took my baby
Someone took away my world

All they found was a letter
I should never have let her go
The river's the only witness
The only one who knows

And the wind whispers her name
And all the lonesome years
Water turns to whiskey
I drown in my own tears

Down by the river
I see my life in flames
Down by the river honey
I call out your name

**venuspop** · 08-19-2011, 11:05 PM

City life was getting us down
So we spent a
weekend out of town
Pitched a tent on a
patch of ground
Down by the river
Lit a fire and drank some wine
You put your jeans
on top of mine
Said "Come in the water's fine"
Down by the river

**Dolores** · 08-20-2011, 01:28 PM

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

**jfc** · 08-20-2011, 05:39 PM

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllllll!

**Dolores** · 08-20-2011, 11:19 PM

Take me back to my boat on the river,
I need to go down, I need to come down.
Take me back to my boat on the river,
and I won't cry out anymore.

Time stands still as I gaze in the water,
she eases me down, touching me gently
with waters that flow past my boat on the river,
so I don't cry out anymore.

Oh, the river is wise, the river it touches
my life like the waves on the sand
and all roads lead to tranquillity base where the frown on my face disappears.

Take me down to my boat on the river,
and I won't cry out anymore.

**venuspop** · 08-20-2011, 11:24 PM

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

**Dolores** · 08-21-2011, 09:01 AM

All I'm praying for is peace to dream alone
I'm just driftwood on the river and I'm drifting on
Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea

**chalice** · 08-21-2011, 01:30 PM

Seems like all the time our boat was slowly sinking
You didn't even seem to mind

Now all I want to do is sleep
Now all I want to do is sleep

**jfc** · 08-21-2011, 04:42 PM

Harmony and me
We're pretty good company
Looking for an island
In our boat upon the sea

**venuspop** · 08-21-2011, 09:53 PM

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The minnow would be lost, the minnow would be lost.

The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligans Isle.

So this is the talel of the castways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.

The first mate and the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the tropic island nest.

No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primative as can be.

So join us here each week my freinds,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castways,
Here on "Gilligan's Isle."

**Dolores** · 08-22-2011, 09:01 AM

What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
Early in the morning?

Hu-rray and up she rises
Patent blocks o' diff'rent sizes,
Hu-rray and up she rises
Early in the morning

**Artio** · 08-22-2011, 09:24 AM

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

**gracious** · 08-22-2011, 10:22 AM

I see your eyes drifting, drifting
I'm really not that naive
You wear a smile but it's drifting, drifting
While I wear my heart on my sleeve
I feel your coldness against my skin
I know what follows the autumn wind
And though you say your heart isn't drifting, drifting
The words simply don't ring true.
You're drifting and I'm losing you.

**ness2361** · 08-22-2011, 02:52 PM

Been away, haven't seen you in a while.
How've you been?
Have you changed your style and do you think
That we've grown up differently? Don't seem the same
Seems you've lost your feel for me

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye.
There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys.
There's only you and me and we just disagree.
Ooo - ooo - ooohoo oh - oh - o-whoa

I'm going back to a place that's far away. How bout you?
Have you got a place to stay? Why should I care?
When I'm just trying to get along We were friends
But now it's the end of our love song...

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye.
There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys.
There's only you and me and we just disagree.
Ooo - ooo - ooohoo oh - oh - o-whoa

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye.
There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys.
There's only you and me and we just disagree.

Dave Mason - We Just Disagree

**gracious** · 08-22-2011, 05:55 PM

See me jump through hoops for you
You stand there watching me performing
What exactly do you do?
Have you ever thought it's you that's boring?
Who the hell are you?

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary
I am just your ordinary average every day sane psycho supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho

**ness2361** · 08-22-2011, 05:58 PM

Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way;
I can't wait to look in the mirror
cuz I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me:
I must be a hell of a [wo]man.
Lord, it's hard to be humble -
But I'm doing the best that I can.

From memory - Mac Davis

**gracious** · 08-22-2011, 06:21 PM

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go is where I want to be.

**jfc** · 08-22-2011, 08:38 PM

I cant do this all on my own, no
I'm no Superman

**ness2361** · 08-22-2011, 10:43 PM

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to.

John (Cougar) Mellancamp

**venuspop** · 08-22-2011, 10:45 PM

Put your hand on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me, oh so tight and show me
That you love me too
Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won't you kiss me once, oh baby
Just a kiss, goodnight and maybe
You and I will fall in love
People say that love is a game
A game you just can't win
If there's a way
I'll find it someday
And then this fool will rush in
Put your heads on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I wanna hear
Tell me
Tell me that you love me too
Put your hands on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear baby
Words I wanna hear please, baby
Put your hands on my shoulder

**Dolores** · 08-23-2011, 07:41 AM

Don't know what it means to hold you tight,
Being here alone tonight with you,
It feels so right now.
Hold me tight,
Let me go on loving you,
Tonight, tonight

**gracious** · 08-23-2011, 08:54 AM

Come good fortune
Let me feel her skin
Don't deny for which I've hungered
Let me taste her mouth only slightly parted
With lips as full as mine have been denied
Let me love tonight

**jfc** · 08-23-2011, 07:47 PM

I feel a hunger, it's a hunger
That tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer? I shouldn't wonder
When I can feel you whet my appetite
With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone
Anticipation is running through me
Let's find the keys and turn this engine on

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster

Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go 'til you see the light

**chalice** · 08-24-2011, 02:19 AM

Oh, crashing tires can't hide a guilty girl
With jealous heart that starts with gloss and curls
I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier
Of stars in atmosphere
And watch her disappear
Into the midnight show..
