Down by the river
(Down by the river)
I took a little walk
(I took a little walk)
I met up with the devil
(I met up with the devil)
We had a little talk
(We had a little talk)

I pushed him in the river
(I pushed him in the river)
I hung him on the line
(I hung him on the line)
We can beat the devil
(We can beat the devil)
Any old time!
(Any old time!)
