lyrics

My clementine and me --
we’re driving out to the Mississippi.
The city life was wrought with trouble --
drunk and riled up, streets and rubble.
Let’s pack the car and leave this town.
I’ll find new work to keep us sound.
When she remembers all this toil,
it won’t matter, it won’t matter

We’ll be living by the river.
Living by the river.
For the river makes for breezy love
in the sugar afternoon.
Sleepyhead why do you wait?
Come and live by the riverbank!

But the water’s creeping up too high
and with the whippoorwill she wails and cries.
I lost my money and I lost her lovin’ --
Now in the morning I’ll be running

You’ll find me living by the river.
Living by the river.
For the river is the only land
for a wandering man to go.
Sleepyhead why do you wait?
Come and live by the riverbank!
