Goin' to the River
The Gories Lyrics

*Who starts? She does. Oh, yeah*
Goin' to the river
Gonna jump right in
Gonna sink to the bottom
and that'll be it
Cuz you didn't love me
any way
So where I'm goin', I'll be goin' to stay
Gonna go to the far side
On a 738

and then I'm a'goin'
to the Golden Gate
Cuz you didnt love me
anyway
So where I'm goin', I'll be goin' to stay
Well you told me that you loved me
said you would be true
said you'd always love me
but you never do!
So I'm goin' to the river
gonna jump right in
gonna sink to the bottom
and that'll be it
cuz you didn't love me
anyway
so where I'm goin' I'll be goin' to stay
*RiFF*
well you told me that you loved me
said you would be true
said you'd always love me
but you never do!
So I'm going to the river
gonna jump right in
gonna sink to the bottom
and that'll be it
cuz you didn't love me
anyway
so where I'm goin' I'll be goin' to stay
be goin' to stay...
