Down on the River
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of D
Little Boy
Whe[D]n you are a baby,
and ten months [G]old
Everything and any[D]thing
You just grab a[G]-hold [D]of
When you're a little boy
Just turned f[G]our
You can't get e[D]nough
And can't g[G]et no mo[D]re
When you're a little older
And just turned e[G]leven
Begin to think ab[D]out
People that [G]go to he[D]aven
When you are a young man,
Just turning t[G]wenty
Makes it lot ha[D]rder
If you're not[G] getting [D]any
When you turn forty
You are getting on up there
You don't know how but
You keep getting somewhere
When you turn eighty
Getting to be an old man
Anything is good
Cause you're getting what you can
