I'm Going Down to the River - Ray Charles, Stanley Turrentine, Bill Brooks

I’m going down to the river where I’m drowning myself, yes I’m drowning myself

I’m going down to the river where I’m drowning myself, oh baby

Oh last, I’m going down yes I’m going myself in, cause my baby is loving

someone else

Now you know why I’m going down to the river where I’m drowning myself

I’m sick and tired of this misery down in my heart, way down in my heart

I’m sick and tired of this misery down in my heart, oh Lord

Well I’m sick and tired of this misery, Lord have mercy, have mercy on me

I’m sick and tired of this misery down in my heart

So goodbye baby (bye baby) well I got to go, (bye baby)

So please don’t cry, because its too late to cry

Bye bye baby well I got to go, so please don’t cry, oh no

Oh bye bye baby, I’ve got to go, that’s why I called you, just to let you know

I’m going down to the river where’s I’m drowning myself
