Sometimes the world it takes me down,
Sometimes it makes me mad
Everything is so crazy, pretty broken, mighty sad
Then I think about you and a song grows in my heart
Remember how you touch me,
That's a real good place to start, so darlin'
Dance Me Down to the river
Where the birds still sing
Where the willows weep
And the water still runs clean
Lay me down in sweet grass
As stars twinkle above
Dance Me Down to the River,
Dance me Down
Just beyond the railroad tracks,
Turn left about a mile
Find yourself a place to park
Keep a look out for my smile
We'll sit beneath that ancient oak,
Revel in the scent of pine
Come on, nibble on my ear as we
Drink this fine red wine, oh darlin'
Dance Me Down to the river
Where the birds still sing
Where the willows weep
And the water still runs clean
Lay me down in sweet grass
As stars twinkle above
Dance Me Down to the river,
Dance Me Down
Oh Dance Me Down to the river
Oh Dance Me Down to the River
Oh oh oh, Dance Me Down
