Down by the River & the Dockside Lyrics by Don Mastro

The River & The Dockside

2021

Down by the river and the dockside
I was an honest man
Never seemed to do no harm
And I do the best I can
Down by the river and the dockside
Where I lost my way
Was a saint going down on a Monday
Devil by Tuesday
And as I remember
Nothing in me even seemed to changed
And as I recall
Felt like all my guilt had washed away
Down by the river and the dockside
I learned a little tune
Do-n-do-n-do-do-do-n do-do
Do-do do-do-do
Down by the river and the dockside
The water's still and lame
The sun beats down through a clear blue sky
And it almost relieves the pain, yeah
Down by the river and the dockside
The water's still and lame
Down below the surface of the water now
Still no one knows today
And as I remember
Jesus wept
And as I recall
Can never look at water the same way
Uh - no, no, no
Down by the river and the dockside
Was taught a little tune
Do-n-do-n-do-do-do-n do-do
Do-do do-do-do
Down by the river and the dockside
Where I sealed my fate
Can't find my peace anymore, And I
I can't sleep for days
Down by the river and the dockside
Tell me something new
Might think you know everything and uh
Keep thinking that's true
And as I remember
Gazing out waves as I sat and prayed
And as I recall
The sun shone brightly and the clouds had parted ways
Yeah and I remember
The booming voice and the ground began to quake
And don't 'cha know I can recall
The very second I found my life had been saved
