The river’s overflowin’
Down here where I am
The rain keeps on pourin’
Can’t get into town

I guess I may start walkin
’fore the mornin’ come
And I’ll be there tomorrow
With my chosen one

(break)

The miles don’t seem so many
Thinkin of your charms
And pleasures unlike any
Wrapped up in your arms

The river’s overflowin’
Down here where I am
The rain keeps on pourin’
Can’t get into town
​
The river’s overflowin’
Down here where I am
The rain keeps on pourin’
I can’t get into town
