Down on the Riverbed - Dave Alvin

Down on the riverbed

Down on the riverbed

Down on the riverbed

I asked my lover for her hand

A red tailed hawk circled overhead

A red tailed hawk circled overhead

A red tailed hawk circled overhead

The church on the hill is what she said

A monster cloud like a big black hand

A monster cloud like a big black hand

A monster cloud like a big black hand

As she drew houses in the sand

Down on the riverbed

Down on the riverbed

Down on the riverbed

Asked my lover for her hand

I asked my lover for her hand

Then I heard a train whistle blow

Then I heard a train whistle blow

Then I heard a train whistle blow

And I knew it was time to go

Down on the riverbed

Down on the riverbed

Down on the riverbed

I asked my lover for her hand

I asked my lover for her hand

I asked my lover for her hand

I asked my lover for her hand
