Down On The Riverbed Lyrics - West Of The West - Dave Alvin

Down on the riverbed 

Down on the riverbed 

Down on the riverbed 

I asked my lover for her hand 

A red tailed hawk circled overhead 

A red tailed hawk circled overhead 

A red tailed hawk circled overhead 

The church on the hill is what she said 

A monster cloud like a big black hand 

A monster cloud like a big black hand 

A monster cloud like a big black hand 

As she drew houses in the sand 

Down on the riverbed 

Down on the riverbed 

Down on the riverbed 

Asked my lover for her hand 

I asked my lover for her hand 

Then I heard a train whistle blow 

Then I heard a train whistle blow 

Then I heard a train whistle blow 

And I knew it was time to go 

Down on the riverbed 

Down on the riverbed 

Down on the riverbed 

I asked my lover for her hand 

I asked my lover for her hand 

I asked my lover for her hand 

I asked my lover for her hand
