Down the River - Malcolm Holcombe

they make the laws

to suit themselves

the ones that buy and sell the rest

of us down the river

the rest of us

dont need the touch

of takin' more than just enough to get

by down the river

down the river

we pray for one another

down the river

we hold on to our dreams

down the river

the hard times makes us stronger to get by

and leave this world behind

down the river

a bed to lay

me down at night

and for workin' hands to hold you tight

my darlin' and me down the river

now far away

the mem’ries of

simple days remainin' in

our broken hearts down the river

the gifts of little ones we love

our faith in blood and God above

they will last forever

down the river
