Johnny Woods feat. Mississippi Fred McDowell Lyrics
"Going Down To The River"

I'm goin' down that river
I'm goin'-a take that right hand road
I'm goin' down the river
I'm goin-a take that right hand road
Lord, I ain't gon' stop walkin'
'Till I get in sweet mama's arms

Lord, the girl I'm lovin'
She got that great long curly hair
Lord, the girl I'm lovin'
Got the great long curly hair
Lord, her mama an her papa, Lord
Sure don't allow me there

Lord, allow me, sure, don't allow me
Sure, don't allow me, sure, don't allow me
Sure, don't allow, allow me there
Lord, Lord, sho' don't allow, 'llow me there

Sun rose this mornin', baby
Lord, I was layin' down on my flo'
Lord, the sun rose this mornin'
I was layin' down on my flo'
Lord, no woman to love me
Baby, even no place to go

Lord, nobody, love me, baby
Lord, no place, place to go
Lord, even no, place to go
Lordy, Lordy, Lord, Lord

Lord, I'm goin' away, baby
Don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' away, baby
Mama, don't you wanna go?
Lord, I'm goin' somewhere
I ain't never been before

Oh, Lord, I
Lord, I'm goin', goin' somewhere
I ain't never, been befor, Lord, Lord
