Verse 1
Bm
I was eighteen,
D
my brother was twenty-one
Bm
One saturday evening
D
when all the work was done
A
We went down to the river,
G
had some trot lines to run
Bm
My brother Walter
D
had a fight the week before
Bm
Knocked a boy named Wilson
D
Through the pool hall door
A
They said you don't mess with Wilson
G
Unless you want a war
Bm
I put the boat in the water,
D
and I made the engine run
Bm
I loaded the lantern
D
against the sinking sun
A
And my brother Walter
G
was loading his gun
D
A
And we went down the

Verse 2
Bm
Down past the coal docks
D
We were running our lines
Bm
Heard some drunken boaters
D
Racing up behind
A
It was Wilson and his cousin,
G
they had trouble on their minds
Bm
They passed on by us,
D
probably going to tend their pots
Bm
We headed up the river
D
with the fish we'd caught
A
But before we made the landing,
G
I thought I heard a shot
D
A

Back down the river

Verse 3
Bm
D
My brother Walter fell over the side
Bm
D
I couldn't find him, no matter how I tried
A
And I looked along the bank
G
but couldn't find where they'd hide
Bm
They drug the river,
D
they searched it up and down
Bm
Couldn't find his body
D
so they decide that he'd drowned
A
But I knew better
G
and Wilson bragged around town
Bm
So one night I floated down
D
Right above Wilson's shack
Bm
I hid in the woods
D
till I saw him walk out back
A
I put a bullet in his head
G
and dropped him in his tracks
D
A
Bm
And we went down the river

Verse 4
Bm
Down below the trestle
D
Where the water runs slow
Bm
I chained him to an anvil
D
And I let him go
A
G
And five years later I ain't told a soul
Bm
And I ain't done much fishing,
D
I hardly wet a line
Bm
The death of my brother
D
is still heavy on my mind
A
I've been thinking Wilson's cousin
G
Better find a place to hide
D
A
Bm
Cause I'm going down the river
D
A
Yeah, I'm going down the
