I come from down in the valley |
|
|
|
where mister when you´re young |
|
|
|
They bring you up to do like your daddy done |
|
|
|
me and Mary we met in high school |
|
|
|
when she was just seventeen |
|
|
|
we´d ride out of that valley |
|
|
|
down to where the fields were green |
|
|
|
|
We´d go down to the river |
|
|
|
and into the river we´d dive |
|
|
|
oh down to the river we´d ride |
|
|
|
|
|
|
and man that was all she wrote |
|
|
|
and for my nineteenth birthday |
|
|
|
I got a union card and a weeding coat |
|
|
|
We went down to the cort house |
|
|
|
and the udge put it all to rest |
|
|
|
no wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle |
|
|
|
no flowers no wedding dress |
|
|
|
|
that night we went down to the river |
|
|
|
and into the river we´d dive |
|
|
|
on down to the river we did ride |
|
