Lyrics

Ooh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I'll be down by the river

Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way, oh yeah

I'll be down by the river, yeah

Singing songs of joy on this lovely day, oh yeah

[Bridge]

Three singing birds told me

By sunrise He's always there in the morning

Praying and blessing the day

[Verse 1]

I've heard about this little tale long time ago

But never had the faith to believe in my soul, yeah

Now mother nature sent to me three little birds

Singing a song convincing me it was so

[PreChorus]

Now I'm on my way

Anyone come to see me this day

Tell them I'll be gone for the day

[Chorus]

I'll be down by the river, yeah

Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way, oh yeah

I'll be down by the river, yeah

Singing songs of joy on this lovely day, oh yeah

Ooh-oh

[Verse 2]

I've heard about this tales long time ago

But never had the faith to believe in my soul, yeah-yeah

How mother nature sent to me three little birds

Singing a song, singing with soul

[PreChorus]

Now I'm on my way

Anyone come to see me this day

Tell them I'll be gone for the day

[Chorus]

I'll be down by the river, yeah

Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way, oh yeah

I'll be down by the river, yeah

Singing songs of joy on this lovely day

Oh, this lovely day

[Outro]

(I'll be down by the river)

Singing songs of joy, oh, oh yeah

(I'll be down by the river)
