[G]river town, it's pretty little,
it's [D]high on the side and it [C]sinks in the [G]middle.

{verse}
To the far side of town's where I want to go,
To see my honey, but I don't know
Looks like I'll have to row,
It's like the gulf of mexico, down by the Texaco

{verse}
you can drown down-town when the water is high
It's been happenin' here since I was a child
There ain't nothing you can do to stop it
Just hope for the best and mop up the rest
