Down By The River O’Joe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well we left the city and the fourteenth floor
We went down by the River O'Joe
Though then we never knew what we were travelling for
We went down by the River O'Joe
Thirty miles to a place that we had not seen
Where the land lies flat and the wind blows keen
It's the prettiest place I've ever been
Down by the River O'Joe
Well my dad got a job under factory law
Down by the River O'Joe
With a house for his kids and so much more
Down by the River O'Joe
It was through the door and through the gate
Well there was me, my brother and a new found mate
Under the mother moon 'til it got late
We stayed down by the River O'Joe

[Chorus]
I say the River O, the River O, the River O'Joe
The River ain't never for sale
I said I was born by the River O'Joe
And the River ain't never for sale
Well you can make your deals in the dead of night
You can bribe who the bloody hell you like
But I was born by the River O'Joe
And the river ain't never for sale

[Verse 2]
They say one time for a week it poured
Down by the River O'Joe
'Til all you could hear was a pounding roar
Down by the River O'Joe
They tried to save the church with sand and planks
But the River kept rising 'til it burst its banks
And pretty soon the whole street got sank
Down by the River O'Joe

[Chorus]
I say the River O, the River O, the River O'Joe
The River ain't never for sale
I said I was born by the River O'Joe
And the River ain't never for sale
Well you can make your deals in the dead of night
You can bribe who the bloody hell you like
But I was born by the River O'Joe
And the river ain't never for sale

[Verse 3]
Now many warm days and good times there are
Down by the River O'Joe
People travel from miles afar to go
Down by the River O'Joe
But the locals still speak of the endless rain
The revenge of the muddy tides again
To the developers who would bring change
Down by the River O'Joe

[Chorus]
I say the River O, the River O, the River O'Joe
The River ain't never for sale
I said I was born by the River O'Joe
And the River ain't never for sale
Well you can make your deals in the dead of night
You can bribe who the bloody hell you like
But I was born by the River O'Joe
And the river ain't never for sale
I say the River O, the River O, the River O'Joe
The River ain't never for sale
I said I was born by the River O'Joe
And the River ain't never for sale
Well you can make your deals in the dead of night
You can bribe who the bloody hell you like
But I was born by the River O'Joe
And the river ain't never for sale
