I been thirsty
For so long
I come looking
For something strong
Don't need no liquor
Shot of whiskey oh no
Bring me the fire water
From the river of love
Down by the river
I can quench this thirst
Down by the river
I can cure this curse
Please tell me now
Chorus:
Tell me where the river is
The river of love
Tell me where the fire water
Water does run
Tell me where the river is
The river, river of love
If some woman
Comes looking for me
Send her down to the river
That's where I'll be
Down where the water
Comes from heaven above
Down through the brooks
& the streams to the banks
Of the river of love
Down by the river
I can quench this thirst
Down by the river
I can cure this curse
Please tell me now
(Chorus)
Down by the river
I can quench this thirst
Down by the river
I can cure this curse
Please tell me now
