Bm _ _ _ _ D _ _ _ _ .
Bm _ _ _ _ D _ _ _ _ .
Bm _ I was 18, D my brother was 21.
_ .
Bm One Saturday evening, D when all the work was done, A we went down to the river, G had some.
tried lines to run.
_ _ _ _ Bm My brother Walter D had a fight the week before.
Bm Knocked a boy named Wilson D through the pool hall door.
A They said, you don't mess with Wilson G unless you want a war.
_ _ _ _ .
Bm I put the boat in the water D and I made the engine run.
Bm I loaded the lantern D against the sinking sun.
A My brother Walter G was loading his gun.
D We A went B down the river, _ _ .
D _ _ _ _ Bm _ _ _ _ .
D _ _ _ _ B Bm down past the coal dots.
We were D running our lines.
Bm Heard some drunken boaters D racing up behind.
A It was Wilson and his cousin, G they had trouble on their mind.
_ _ _ _ .
Bm They passed on by, D probably going to end their fight.
Bm We headed up the river D with the fish we caught.
A But before we made the landing, G I thought I heard a shot.
D _ _ A Back down Bm the river, _ _ .
D _ _ Am _ D _ Bm _ _ _ _ .
D _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ D _ .
G _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
B Bm my brother Walter fell D over the side.
B I Bm couldn't find him, D no matter how I tried.
A I looked along the bank, but I couldn't G find where they'd hide.
_ _ _ _ Bm They'd drug the river, D they searched it up and down.
Bm Couldn't find his body, D so they decided that he'd drown.
A But I knew better G than Wilson bragged around town.
_ _ _ _ .
Bm So one night I floated D down, right above Wilson's shack.
Bm I hid in the woods D until I saw him walk out back.
A I put a bullet in his head, G and dropped him in his tracks.
D Then we A went Bm down the river, _ _ .
D _ _ _ _ Bm _ _ _ _ .
D _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ .
G _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Bm down below the trestle,.
D where the water runs slow.
Bm I chained him to an anvil, D and then I let him go.
A And five years later, G I ain't told of so.
_ _ _ _ Bm I ain't done much fishing, I D hardly wet a line.
Bm _ The death of my brother D is still heavy on my mind.
A I've been thinking Wilson's cousin, G better find a place to hide.
D Cause A I'm going Bm down the river.
_ _ D Yeah, A I'm going Bm down the river.
