Gm
I was eighteen
A#
My brother was twenty-one
Gm
One Saturday evening
A#
When all the work was done
F
We went down to the river
D# Gm
Had some trot lines to run
Gm
My brother Walter
A#
Had a fight the week before
Gm
Knocked a boy named Wilson
A#
Through the pool hall door
F
They said you don't mess with Wilson
D# Gm
Unless you want a war
Gm
I put the boat in the water
A#
And I made the engine run
Gm
I loaded the lantern
A#
Against a sinking sun
F
And my brother Walter
D#
Was loading his gun
A# F Gm
And we went down the river
A# F Gm A# F D#
Gm
Down past the coal docks
A#
We were runnin' our lines
Gm
Heard some drunken boaters
A#
Racing up behind
F
It was Wilson and his cousin
D# Gm
Had trouble on their minds
Gm
They passed on by us
A#
Probably going to tend their pot
Gm
We headed up the river
A#
With the fish we'd caught
F
But before we made the landing
D#
I thought i heard a shot
A# F Gm
Back down the river
A# F Gm A# F D#
Gm A#
My brother Walter fell over the side
Gm
I couldn't his body
A#
No matter how I tried
F
And I looked along the bank
D# Gm
But i couldn't find where they'd hide
Gm
They drug the river
A#
They searched it up and down
Gm
Couldn't find his body
A#
So they decided that he'd drowned
F
But I knew better
D# Gm
And Wilson bragged around town
Gm
So one night I floated down
A#
Right above Wilson's shack
Gm
I hid in the woods
A#
'Til I saw him walk out back
F
I put a bullet in his head
D#
Dropped him in his tracks
A# F Gm
And we went down the river
A# F Gm A# F D#
Gm
Down below the trestle
A#
Where the water runs slow
Gm
I chained him to an anvil
A#
Then I let him go
F
And five years later
D#
I ain't told a soul
Gm
And I ain't done much fishing
A#
I hardly wet a line
Gm
The death of my brother
A#
Is still heavy on my mind
F
I've been thinking Wilson's cousin
D#
Better find a place to hide
A# F Gm
Cause I'm going down the river
A# F Gm
Yeah I'm going down the river
A# F Gm A# F G
