[Verse]
Climbin' under a barbed wire fence by the railroad ties
Climbin' over the old stone wall, I'm bound for the riverside

[Chorus]
I go to the river from time to time
Ponder over these crazy days in my life
Sit an' watch the river flow

[Verse]
Find a place on the riverbank
Where the green rushes grow
See the wind in the willow tree and branches hangin' low

[Chorus]
Well I go to the river from time to time
To ponder over these crazy days in my life
Watch the river flow

[Bridge]
Ease my mind and soul
Where I go

[Chorus]
Well I go to the river from time to time
Ponder over these crazy days in my life
Watch the river flow
[Verse]
Where the willow branches grow
By the cool rolling waters
Moving gracefully and slow

[Outro]
(Ooh)
Oh, its feel, so lovely
Let the river take it all away
(Ooh)
The mad pace, the hurry, hurry, the
Troubles, the worries... worries, just
Let the river take it all away
All away
All away
All away
