You must remember this
這是一段悲傷的故事
It was the river and me
我們一起遊蕩
She took my arm she led me along
她拉著我的手，一路前行
Oh yeah
She said I'm going down to the river
她說她要去河邊
To lay my troubles down
把她的煩惱放下
I'm going down to the river
我也要去河邊
To wash away my sins all along
洗去我所有的罪惡
Oh yeah
The river was my friend
這條河是我朋友
She never let me down again
她從未讓我失望
She never let me down she never let me down
她從未讓我失望
She never let me down again
她從未讓我失望過
Oh yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
喔耶 喔耶 喔耶 喔耶
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
喔耶 喔耶 喔耶 喔耶
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
喔耶 喔耶 喔耶 喔耶
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
