Lyrics The Hollies

The Hollies

Down River

Good to see you again, Rosie

I know I've changed a lot since then

You're lookin' fine, babe

Three years that ain't long, Rosie

I still remember our song

When you were mine, babe

Times change, times change I know

But it sure moves slow

Down river when you're locked away

Hey why didn't you write, Rosie

I stayed awake most every night

Countin' my time babe

Oh no I ain't mad Rosie

I know you had to mind your dad

But just a line babe

Oh sure I remember then

We went off to school

Ain't that right

Well he ain't no fool

He's a good man Rosie

Hold him tight as you can

Don't ask me why babe

Yeah nice seein' you again Rosie

Me I got things to do

Well good-bye babe

Rosie down river

Down river when you're locked away

Rosie I'm losing

Down river
