Lyrics
CAME RIGHT OUT OF FOURTH STREET
TWO LADIES IN MY ARMS
TOOK A CHANCE ON LADY LUCK
TO SHOW ME ALL HER CHARMS
CHORUS :-
MEET ME AT THE RIVER
I'LL TREAT YOU RIGHT
MEET ME AT THE RIVER BABY
HOLDING YOU TIGHT
MEET ME AT THE RIVER
I'LL TREAT YOU RIGHT
MEET ME AT THE RIVER BABY
MY QUEEN TONIGHT
I KNOW THE MAN IN GLASSES
THOUGH I'VE NEVER SEEN HIS EYES
HIS BROW SAYS HE'S ON A BUSTED FLUSH
AND HE'S BLUFFING ME WITH LIES
CHORUS
GOT SOME KIDS NEED FEEDING
AND MY WIFE'S ALL IN ON ME
SHOW THEM ALL WE GOT THE NUTS
TWO OUTS AND WE'LL BE FREE
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
