Down By The Creek lyrics

So pray, go on, take it to the river, But I swear you'll never see me there again And if I'm a fool for leaving you Then a fool I'd rather have been And I don't know if it's true But I may have loved you. They say you've been living up the street. Well, I'm sorry boy, yes, indeed. Back from the war, and down by the creek. Well, a 'sorry' ain't what you need. Heard you've been trying to tell the truth But I think I've 'bout had it with you. So take a good look behind you. This day is done and this year is almost through By the time you realize what you want inside, I'll be washing my hands of you, Thanking God that we're through. They say you've been living up the street. Well, I'm sorry boy, yes, indeed. Back from the war, and down by the creek. Well, a 'sorry' ain't what you need. Heard you've been trying to tell the truth But I think I've 'bout had it with you. I know that you want me back But, babe, it ain't like that. And I know that it's hard to grasp But you just ain't no catch. They say you've been living up the street. Well, I'm sorry boy, yes, indeed. Back from the war, and down by the creek. Well, a 'sorry' ain't what you need. Heard you've been trying to tell the truth But I think I've 'bout had it with you.
