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

I'm Going Down to the River

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
