Riverside Rest Lyrics by Bryant Roses

2024

[Verse 1]
Pa, he had a paddle with a crooked wooden handle
And he took it to the river like you do
No one whipped a saw just quite like the way that pa could
He'd elevate the state of making do
He couldn't make a dollar in the city or the holler
But we loved his non-conforming point of view
If he could take a risk on living on the river
Then I'm gonna take a risk on you
[Chorus]
There's no money in the washing
There's no money down the stream
There's no money coming out the other end of these pipe dreams
Still, if we don't find those better times
We won't be broke, you'll see
We'll be singing by the Riverside Rest, you and me
[Verse 2]
Mama, she would hobnob, picking up an odd job
Here and there while chewing on a tune
Doing laundry for the broke, sewing patches for the folk
Too rich to know a hand-stitch from a loom
Now papa passed away, me and mama gotta stay
Behind and find a way to make a dime or two
Crooning for the old folks, laughing at a few jokes
Up and down the river that he knew
[Chorus]
There's no money in the washing
There's no money down the stream
There's no money coming out the other end of these pipe dreams
Still, if we don't find those better times
We won't be broke, you'll see
We'll be singing by the Riverside Rest, you and me
We'll be singing by the Riverside Rest, you and me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm the kind of otter like my pa, I'm working harder
Than another otter coming 'round the bend
Living day to day, taking chances on the way
I sold my means to make a break for the end
So buddy, grab that wash tub, drain and clean that old jug
Mama's had it hard enough, so mix a little stardust
In and sing it loud, you gotta make your papa proud
Til the river's singing right along with you
[Chorus]
There's no money in the washing
There's no money down the stream
There's no money coming out the other end of these pipe dreams
Still, if we don't find those better times
We won't be broke, you'll see
We'll be singing by the Riverside Rest, you and me
There's no money in the washing
There's no money down the stream
There's no money coming out the other end of these pipe dreams
Still, if we don't find those better times
We won't be broke, you'll see
We'll be singing by the Riverside Rest, you and me
We'll be singing by the Riverside Rest, you and me
[Outro]
We'll be up and down the river, singing happily together
Making more out of less at the Riverside Rest
