Going Down to the River

Anna Larina in white sundress

I’m a-going down down down to the river
And there ain’t nobody gonna have to hold my hand
I’m a-going down down down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand
–Buck Ownes & the Buckaroos

Anna is down by the river late in the afternoon. Anna has a good fashion instinct. She selected a short white sundress with small red rose pattern, red lips, red nails, red hair and long silver white earrings. Behind her, boats are docking.

Today’s youtube hit is Buck Owens’ Down To The River. The song was composed by Rose Maddox in 1962.

Here’s a live performance of Act Naturally and Down to the River by Buck Owens and the Buckaroos on television in the 1960s. Don Rich sings harmony.

Buck Owens: DOWN TO THE RIVER
KEY: G

I’m a-going down down down to the river
And there ain’t nobody gonna have to hold my hand
I’m a-going down down down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand

You said goodbye to me this morning
And slowly walked out of my life
I don’t know how I’ll live without you
I only know I’ve gotta try

I’m a-going down down down to the river
And there ain’t nobody gonna have to hold my hand
I’m a-going down down down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand

The telephone has started ringing
Friends call to see if it is true
I don’t know words to say it’s over
I only know that I love you

I’m a-going down down down to the river
And there ain’t nobody gonna have to hold my hand
I’m a-going down down down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand

Buck Owens: Dolů k řece
KLÍČ: G

Jdu dolů, dolů, dolů k řece
A tam není nikdo budu muset držet za ruku
Jdu dolů, dolů, dolů k řece
Chtěl pohřbít své problémy do písku dně řeky

Říkal jste, že sbohem mi dnes ráno
A pomalu odešel z mého života
Nevím, jak budu žít bez tebe
Já jen vím, že si musím zkusit

Jdu dolů, dolů, dolů k řece
A není nikdo budu muset držet za ruku
Jdu dolů, dolů, dolů k řece
Chtěl pohřbít své problémy do písku dně řeky

Telefon má začal zvonit
Přátelé volání zjistit, jestli je to pravda
Nevím, co říct, že je konec
Vím jen, že tě miluji

Jdu dolů, dolů, dolů k řece
A není nikdo budu muset držet za ruku
Jdu dolů, dolů, dolů k řece
Chtěl pohřbít své problémy do písku dně řeky
