River river soon I'm gonna be Over on the other side Water water I just gotta be Over on the other side Don't be long now 'cause I'm movin' on In the morning' they're gonna find me gone Movin' over on the other side Movin' over on the other side Come on and follow me You'll be satisfied On the other side The sun will shine On the other side Everything is fine On the other side We'll learn to be content I know where the grass is green We'll step ashore and the air is clean So weep no more Leave your troubles far behind On the other side No more lonesome city misery Over on the other side That's why everybody ought to be Over on the other side Don't you tell me "Get to work at nine" Gonna do things in my own sweet time I'm movin' over on the other side Movin' over on the other side Come on and follow me You'll be satisfied
