Down at the water, I held my Marie

She said, "Now Johnny

your love means no more to me

Than rain in the river

Than rain in the river"

In bloody boots, I stood on shadow ground

Her long black hair beneath me, falling down

Like rain in the river

Like rain in the river

Last night, I put on my jacket and I went for a ride

Smelled sweet mustard fields

had my Colt at my side

Like rain in the river

The rain in the river

The rain in the river

Oh, the rain in the river

Thе rain in the river

Oh, the rain in thе river

Rain in the river

(Hey!) The rain in the river

Rain in the river

(Hey!) The rain in the river

(Hey!)
