Hey baby, won't you sit down here next to me
Well I heard you're havin' trouble in love
Yeh, I know how that can be
Now love can hurt, I know it's true
Let me see what I can do
I know a place where you can find love
The kind you always dreamed of

Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the river-o-love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
In the river-o-love

Hey darlin', you know that love is strange
Seems the harder you try to hold on
The further it moves away
I know it's hard to understand
But that's okay I got a plan
I know a place where you can find love
The kind you always dreamed of

Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the river-o-love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
In the river-o-love
Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me drown in the river-o-love
The river-o-love

You don't have to be afraid
Coz I'll be right there by your side
We can take it slow baby
One long sweet ride

Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the river-o-love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
In the river-o-love
Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me drown in the river-o-love
The river-o-love
