Lyrics:
move,
And choose the course you're running.
Down at the edge, round by the corner,
Not right away, not right away.
Close to the edge, down by a river
the old man on the other side
I have to leave, I've got to reach a better place, today
I watch the river flow I watch the river flow
I watch the river
move,
And choose the course you're running.
Down at the edge, round by the corner,
Not right away, not right away.
Close to the edge, down by a river

Often emphasizes sin
In a charming way.
Mr. Coward we know
Wrote a song or two to show
Sex was here to stay.

my way
I'd take a boat from the river
And I'd bury the old man
I'd bury him at sea
Blessed are the poor
For they shall inherit the earth
Better
my way
I'd take a boat from the river
And I'd bury the old man
I'd bury him at sea
Blessed are the poor
For they shall inherit the earth
Better
life
But he was pulled from the mud in the Etowah River
By the man y'all despised
(Ko-ko Joe)
Ko-ko Joe
They called him the Etowah River swamp rat
Floating down the river
With eagle on high
A thousand times on the river
Old man and blue sky
Bury me by the river
When my time arrives
Until then, its the river
Take the old man to the river's mercy
Wearing his father's coat and woven pedigree
Take his old friends from the gentry
To the river, the river is
Yeah, nougat & caramel.
And the river flows on.
Yeah, the river flows on beneath pudgy fifteen-year olds addicted to coffee whitener
And it finally
a river
You know he'll die by the river now
?Cause deep inside my river's run dry
So many times did mother swallow her pride
Just to keep my old man's
Down at the edge, round by the corner
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river
Not right away, not right away
Crossed
girl standing
In a doorway in the gloom
We'd hardly started talking
The old scenario
And I just let her work me over
Down by the Ohio
River
And you'll find out the hard way: you get no respect
[Old hustler:]
Man, you must be crazy and bugged
Whatcha mean I don't get no respect?
You crazy?
And there we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd
By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am
God, I wish I was with my father
He could
brought him to this prison on that old Big River Train
We became the best of buddies side by side through thick and thin
Then one night he told his story
by the corner,
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river,
Not right away, not right away
Crossed the line around
all out of trouble
Even though he would leave
He wore his heart on his sleeve
And by the way that he walked
He taught me how to believe
Old man look
