Cooper, Alice - Goin' To The River Lyrics






Well I'm goin' to the river gonna jump overboard and drown
Yes I'm goin' to the river gonna jump overboard and drown
Because the girl I love she's gone and leave his down
Now when she left me I bowed my head and cried
When she left me I bowed my head and cried
I never thought I'd be I would be the one to cry
So if you see my baby tell her tell her goodbye for me
If you see my baby tell her tell her goodbye for me
'cause I'm tired of livin' livin' in misery
Yes I'm goin' to the river gonna jump overboard and drown
Yes I'm goin' to the river gonna jump overboard and drown
Because the girl I love she's gone and leave his down
Now when she left me I bowed my head and cried
When she left me I bowed my head and cried
I never thought I'd be I would be the one to cry
So if you see my baby tell her tell her goodbye for me
If you see my baby tell her tell her goodbye for me
'cause I'm tired of livin' livin' livin' in misery
That's why I'm goin' to the river gonna jump overboard and drown
Yes I'm goin' to the river gonna jump overboard and drown
Because the girl I love she's gone and leave his down

Cooper, Alice Goin' To The River Comments
  1. K.... O....

    This is not Alice Cooper, it’s Gene Vincent.

    K.... O....

    Whoever sang the original, if you eat some good acid, the album Freakout Song, which is the album I first heard this on, will fuck with your brain good ;)

  2. K.... J....

    Don't know how many times I got duped into buying this album. They kept changing labels, album cover, song titles to sell this for thirty years.

  3. R.... D....

    Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks recorded in 1965.

  4. J.... W....

    Welcome to my nightmare

  5. J.... G....

    Although this is Ronnie Hawkins, the lyrics do sound like something Alice wrote.

    J.... G....

    Isnt it a Fats Domino song ?

  6. B.... S....

    Go Ronnie!

  7. J.... H....

    Ain't that just like a woman wasn't his either.

  8. J.... H....

    I met Alice and asked him about this. He said the record company had simply put it and at least one other song on the album without his consent.

    J.... H....

    John Hooks Hooks Right.Sure.

  9. M.... P....

    Yep, but it's really on the album. Don't know why either.

  10. t.... ....

    ahhh Bullshit.  It's Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks.
