CHORUS
I was born there by the shore
River's cold there I cleanse my soul
Fetch the water I do my chores
Won't feel the drought cause my bucket's full
When nightime falls we light our tracks
We'll burn a fire till the sun runs back
VERSE I
I say we kings
"Down by the river"
The water it sings
Swim for a mile
"Down by the river"
Hold your breath for a while
Drift like a leaf
"Down by the river"
Release your grief
"Down by the river"
Let your body float
"Down by the river"
Like a ghost on a boat
Jump from a cliff
"Down by the river"
Then play a blue riff
"Down by the river"
Fish love down low
"Down by the river"
While the grass snake grows
"Down by the river"
CHORUS
I was born there by the shore
River's cold there I cleanse my soul
Fetch the water I do my chores
Won't feel the drought cause my bucket's full
When nighttime falls we light our tracks
We'll burn a fire till the sun runs back
VERSE II
Wade a bit get a rush
"Down by the river"
Feel the waves keep a hush
"Down by the river"
Splash out
"Down by the river"
In the water when you shout
"Down by the river"
People get loose
"Down by the river"
Drinking gin with the juice
"Down by the river"
Here I find my food
"Down by the river"
Take a dip in the nude
"Down by the river"
Munchin' up weeds
"Down by the river"
Where the river flow leads
"Down by the river"
Mister reaper sleeps
"Down by the river"
While the hunter creeps
"Down by the river"
BRIDGE
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
"Down by the river"
"Down by the river"
"Down by the river"
"Down by the river"
"Down by the river"
"Down"
CHORUS
I was born there by the shore
River's cold there I cleanse my soul
Fetch the water I do my chores
Won't feel the drought cause my bucket's full
When nighttime falls we light our tracks
We'll burn a fire till the sun runs back
VERSE III
Cold deep down
"Down by the river"
Dip a white gown
"Down by the river"
Take a nighttime dance
"Down by the river"
In your nighttime pants
"Down by the river"
Playing catch with the crocs
"Down by the river"
On the bank skippin' rocks
"Down by the river"
While you dip your feet
"Down by the river"
Where the crowd they meet
"Down by the river"
Wash a birthmark
"Down by the river"
Find your name in the dark
"Down by the river"
Let the water keep you open
"Down by the river"
From the river to the ocean
"Down by the river"
