I

want

to

stay

South

of

the

Ri-

ver

With

the

chains

and

the

gold

We

could

be

out

here

to-

ge-

ther;

But,

you

have

pla-

ces

to

go

Wat-

ching

the

sun-

shine

blaze

the

gray

I

don't

know

why

you

would-

n't

stay

You

should

come

South

of

the

Ri-

ver

Where

the

lo-

ving

is

gold

You

should

come

South

of

the

Ri-

ver

This

is

where

it

all

starts

I

think

that

we

could

stay

here

for-

e-

ver

Lie

on

the

roof

til'

it's

dark

And

when

the

last

bus

pulls

a-

way

I

swear

that

I

al-

most

heard

you

say

"I

should

move

South

of

the

Ri-

ver."

I

want

to

get

to

know

I

want

to

get

to

know,

oh

I

want

to

stay

South

of

the

Ri-

ver
