Am C
I was 1 my brother was 1
Am C
One saturday evenin when all the work was done
G F
We went down to the river we had some trot lines to run
Am C
My brother walter had a fight the week before
Am C
Knocked a boy named wilson through the pool hall door
G F
They said you dont mess with wilson unless you want a war
Am C
I put the boat in the water and i made the engine run
Am C
I loaded the lantern against the sinking sun
G F
And my brother walter was loading his gun
C G Am
And we went down the river
Am C
Down past the coal docks we were running our lines
Am C
Heard some drunken boaters racing up behind
G F
It was wilson and his cousin they had trouble on their minds
Am C
They passed on by us probably going to tend their pots
Am C
We headed up the river with the fish we'd caught
G F
But before we made the landing i thought i heard a shot
C G Am
Back down the river
Am C
My brother walter fell over the side
Am C
And i couldnt find him no matter how i tried
G F
And i looked along the bank but i couldnt find where they'd hide
Am C
They drug the river they searched it up and down
Am C
Couldnt find his body so they decided that he'd drowned
G F
But i knew better cause wilson bragged around town
Am C
So one night i floated down right above wilsons shack
Am C
I hid in the woods untill i saw him walk out back
G F
I put a bullet in his head and dropped him in his tracks
C G Am
Then we went down the river
Am C
Down below the trestle where the water runs slow
Am C
I chained him to an anvil then i let him go
G F
And five years later well i aint told a soul
Am C
And i aint done much fishin i hardly wet a line
Am C
The death of my brother is still heavy on my mind
G F
I've been thinking wilsons cousin better find a place to hide
C G Am C G Am
Cause i'm goin down the river yeah i'm goin down the river
