You, Me & The River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If it wasn't so dark out here tonight I know I'd be a hell of a sight Covered in Arkansas clay from head to toe If I told you once, I told you twice You better not touch my Clementine But you didn't listen, now you're fillin' up this hole [Chorus] Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy And this time of year, she takes what you give her So tonight I lay me down to sleep And pray my soul and my secret to keep Between you, me and the river [Verse 2] It's been a long week working overtime That's why I got home early tonight And when I saw your car I could smell the trouble So I turned off my hеadlights And saw your silhouettes through candlelight And I wеnt to the shed to get my shovel [Chorus] Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy And this time of year, she takes what you give her So tonight I lay me down to sleep And pray my soul and my secret to keep Between you, me and the river [Bridge] They're gonna come knockin', it's a matter of time The last goodbye, my alibi And where Clementine ran off to, they'll wonder I won't tell 'em she's cheatin' on me But I'll smile at the memory Of my diamond on her hand as she went under [Chorus] Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy And this time of year, she takes what you give her So tonight I lay me down to sleep And pray my soul and my secret to keep Between you, me and the river Between you, me and the river
