Down to the river, take me down
Down to the river, take me down
I wanna go down there
I wanna go down
Down to the river, take me down
Down to the river, take me down
I wanna go down there
I wanna go down
Baby not for nothin’
I know your eyes are touchin’ somethin’
We got 5 white boys a strumming
10 black drummers drumming
7 soul sisters humming
I wanna go down
Baby not for nothin’
I’m gonna give you somethin’
My heart is really pumpin’
The place (Tipitinas) is really jumpin’
We got 5 white boys a strumming
10 black drummers drumming
7 soul sisters humming
I wanna go down
Down to the river, take me down
Down to the river, take me down
I wanna go down there
I wanna go down
Down to the river, take me down
Down to the river, take me down
I wanna go down there
I wanna go down
I wanna go down there
I wanna go down
