Reedy River

[Verse 1]
I wished I were a little baby
Hanging on my momma's arm
She'd swing me back, she'd swing me forth
Trailing my feet in the cold water

[Verse 2]
The sun came scorching down in April
Heat like to make your daddy swoon
We threw our shoes along the steep bank
And jumped from winter into June

[Chorus]
By the Reedy
By the Reedy
By the Reedy River

[Verse 3]
And this is where that river's headed
The bridge will float over the falls
They don't rush the way they once did
And neither do we toward each other

[Chorus]
By the Reedy
By the Reedy
By the Reedy River

[Verse 4]
I wished I were (I wished I were) a little baby
Hanging on my momma's arm
She'd swing me back (She'd swing me back), she'd swing me forth
Trailing my feet in the cold water

[Chorus]
Of the Reedy
Of the Reedy
Of the Reedy River

[Chorus]
Of the Reedy
Of the Reedy
Of the Reedy River
