Way down by the river at the end of the line
Oh, I was lookin' to have a real good time
Way down by the river at the end of the line
I was lookin' for some friends of mine
I was thinking about you that night

Way down by the river where the bugles blow
I had myself, nowhere to go
Way down by the river where the bugles blow
I had myself, nowhere to go
I was thinking about you that night

Now they say good souls, they travel far
But did you take with you your old guitar?
Oh, they say good souls, they travel far
Did you take with your old guitar?
I was thinking about you that night

Well, everyone's trying to make a little work
And everyone's trying to make it first
I was thinking about you that night

Way down by the river at the end of the line
Oh, I was lookin' to have a real good time
Way down by the river at the end of the line
I was lookin' for some friends of mine
I was thinking about you that night
