Yeah, yeah, I'll be down by the river, yeah
Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way, oh yeah
I'll be down by the river, yeah
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day, oh yeahThree singing birds told me
My sunrise is always there in the morning
Praying and blessing the dayI've heard about this little tale long time ago
But never had the faith to believe it was so, yeah
Now Mother Nature sent to me three little birds
Singing a song convincing me it was soNow I'm on my way
If anyone come to see me this day
Tell them I'll be gone for the dayI'll be down by the river, yeah
Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way, oh yeah
I'll be down by the river, yeah
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day, oh yeah, ohI've heard about this lil' tale long time ago
But never had the faith to believe in my soul, yeah, yeah
Now Mother Nature sent to me three little birds
Singing a song, convincin' me, it was soNow I'm on my way
Anyone come to see me this day
Tell them I'll be gone for the dayI'll be down by the river, yeah
Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way, oh yeah
I'll be down by the river, yeah
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day, on this lovely dayDown by the river
