How far to the town
It's so far, so far
How far is it, boys?
It's just so far
How far to the town
Where a bar can be found
Oh, there's just no bar to be found
Oh, there's just no bar to be found
I'm going down to the river
To wash my sins away
The cold it was strong
Then it righted my wrong
Then washed my sins away
I went down to Dickens in town
To win back my love today
She whispered a secret
I swore that I'd keep it
For fury was quick to repay
I went up to main street
To watch the bar band play
And there's just no bar to be found
Oh, there's just no bar to be found
Nope
I went down to the river
To wash my sins away
The wind it was strong
That it right my wrong
Then washed my sins away
What's every body running for?
What's every body running for?
What's there to see going down?
What's every body running for?
What's every body running for?
What's there to see going downtown?
