Intro: -6 -6b(sus) -7 7(sus
I come from down
in the val-ley
Where mis-ter,
when you're you-ng
They bring you up to do
like your dad-dy done
Me and Mar-y we met in high
When she was just sev-en-teen
We'd drive out of this val-ley
down to where fields were green
We'd go do-wn to the ri-ver
And in-to the ri-ver we'd dive
Oh down to the ri-ver we'd ride
Then I got Mar-y preg-nant
And man, that was all she wrote
And for my 19th birth-day
I got a un-ion card and
a wed-din' coat
We went down to the court-house
And the judge put it all to rest
No wed-din day smiles,
no walk down the a-isle
No flow-ers, no wed-din' dress
That night we went
down to the riv-er
And into the riv-er we'd dive
Oh---- down to the
ri-ver we did ride
