"I'm Going Down to the River" Lyrics

I'm goin' down to the river and drown myself
Well, I'm goin' down to the river and drown myself
Oh baby, oh, I'm goin' down yes and turn myself in
'Cause my baby lovin' someone else
Now you know why
I'm goin' down to the river and drown myself

I'm sick and tired of this misery
Down in my heart, way down in my heart
I'm sick and tired of this misery
Down in my heart, oh Lord
Well, I'm sick and tired of this misery
Lord have mercy, have mercy on me
I'm sick and tired of this misery
Down in my heart
So goodbye baby
(Bye baby)

Well, I got to go, so please don't cry
'Cause it's too late to cry
Bye-bye baby, well, I got to go
So please don't cry, oh no
Oh, bye-bye baby, I've got to go
That's why I called you, just to let you know
I'm goin' down to the river and drown myself
