GOIN' UP THE RIVER Â SPENCER BOHREN, 1994
I'm goin' up the river
Where the air is fresh and clean
I'm goin' up the river
Where the air is fresh and clean
I'm goin' back to Natchez
Prettiest place you ever seen
I left home that mornin'
Lord, I was walkin' down the trace
I left home that mornin'
Walkin' down the trace
Caught a ride to Mobile
Lord, I met the Devil in that place
When your Mama left me
I didn't have no place to go
When your Mama left me
Son, I didn't have no place to go
Wanderin' 'round the country
Soon be knockin' at your door
So I'm goin' up the river
Where the air is fresh and clean
I'm goin' up the river
Where the air is fresh and clean
I'm goin' back to Natchez
Prettiest place I ever seen
