By The River

lyrics

I was born by the river on a cold winter day
I was raised by the river, by the river is where I stay
Good god, why you treat me so bad?
Worst damn friend that I ever did have
I was raised by the river
They have all these rules, all these things you've got to do
No it ain't easy
Good god why you treat me so mean?
Meanest damn friend that I ever did seen
I was raised by the river

I was born by the river on a winter's day; get my ship I'll sail away
Now I walk by the river almost every night; tell me lord it will be alright

I was born by the river about one hundred miles north
Will I die by the river? Will nature run her course?
Good god, why you treat me so mean?
Worst damn friend that I ever did seen
I was raised by the river
They've got all these rules and they've got all these fools
It must be a goddamn joke
Good god, why you treat me so mean?
Meanest damn river that I ever did seen
I was raised by the river
