I'm going to the river 
Gonna go overboard and drown 
I'm going to the river 
Gonna jump overboard and drown 
Because the gal I love 
She just has left this town 

When she left me 
I bowed my head and cried 
When she left me 
I bowed my head and cried 
I never thought 
I would be 
I would be the one to cry 

Wah wah wah wah, wah wah wah
Wah wah wah wah, wah wah wah 

Well, if you see my mama tell her 
Goodbye for me 
If you see my mama tell her 
Goodbye for me 
I'm tired of living 
Living in misery
