I got the sun shinin' down All over my face Never seen such a beautiful day I wanna spread the word Tell all my friends Time to strike up the band and play So won't you... Come on down, down to the river Come on down, wash away your sins Come on down, down to the river 'Cause down at the river (come on)... That's where it all begins... Ain't no bad moon rising, no dark clouds Just a cool breeze in the air Don't wanna hear nothing about No fun allowed None of that around here... So won't you... Come on down, down to the river Come on down, wash away your sins Come on down, down to the river 'Cause down at the river (come on)... That's where it all begins... I think we ought to cut loose tonight And let the good times come on strong now Say goodbye to your blues tonight I think we ought to go all night long... Yeah it's just how it goes And nobody knows How many good days you're gonna get So what you gotta do is just Ride 'em all hard Ride 'em hard and put 'em up wet... So why won't you... Come on down, down to the river Come on down, wash away your sins Come on down, down to the river 'Cause down at the river (come on)... That's where it all begins... That's where it all begins... Come on down, down to the river Come on down, wash away your sins Come on down, down to the river 'Cause down at the river (come on)... That's where it all begins...
