lyrics

[D] When I was [Bm] thirteen
[A] all my friends made [G] fun of me
cause [D] I wore knickers [Bm] instead of jeans
[G] just like [A] Huck Finn

I used to smoke a corncob pipe
I would smoke it late at night
I never got in trouble cause I turned out the light
just like Huck Finn

I built myself a raft of wood
I would float it whenever i could
until the day it sank right in
into the river like Huck Finn

[D] Sinking, sinking, [C] sinking, sinking
[B] sinking, sinking [A] down
[D] watch it sinking [C] see the water
[B] slowly seeping [A] round

Now that I’m twenty-two
I’m so glad that I found you
you love the river just as much as I do
just like Huck Finn

[D] I just wanna go [Bm] down the river
go [G] down the river with [A] you forever babe
[D] I just wanna go [Bm] down the river
go [G] down the river with [A] you

And when we're sixty-three
will you still be with me
going down the river just you and I
until the day we die

Andru Bemis South Haven, Michigan

"Michigan's premier neo folk artist ... is a modern day train hopping, banjo slinging troubadour who has made a name for himself in small venues across the US. His charismatic live show garners (accurate) comparisons to Arlo and Woody.” (ThisIsHappening - photo credit: Jack Hirschorn) ... more
