rev hammer - down by the river 'o' lyrics

Loading...

we left the city and the fourteenth floor,
and went down by the river ‘o joe.
tho’ then we never knew what we were travelling for,
we went down by the river ‘o joe.
thirty miles to a place that we had not seen,
where the land lies flat and the wind blows keen.
it was the prettiest place i’ve ever been,
down by the river ‘o joe.

my dad got a job under factory law,
down by the river ‘o joe.
with a house for his kids and so much more,
down by the river ‘o joe.
it was thru’ the door and thru’ the gate,
me, my brother and a new found mate,
under the mother moon ’til it got late,
we stayed down by the river ‘o joe.

chorus:
the river ‘o, the river ‘o, the river ‘o joe,
the river ain’t never for sale.
i was born by the river ‘o joe and the river ain’t
never for sale.
you can make your deals in the dead of night and
bribe who the bl–dy h-ll you like,
but, i was born by the river ‘ o joe and the river
ain’t never for sale.

they say one time for a week it poured,
down by the river ‘o joe.
’til all you could hear was a pounding roar,
down by the river ‘o joe.
they tried to save the church with sand and planks,
but the river kept rising ’til it burst its banks,
pretty soon the whole street got sank.
down by the river ‘o joe.

chorus

now many warm days and good times there are,
down by the river ‘o joe.
people travel from miles afar to go,
down by the river ‘o joe.
but the locals still speak of the endless rain,
and the revenge of the muddy tides again,
to the developers who would bring change,
down by the river ‘o joe.

chorus
