Lyrics
Mary, Mrs. James, how much has really changed? / the river men still taste the same / salt in their sweat / and sweet in the rain
There’s nothing going on / on the banks of the river / somewhere between / alone and together / oh, Marietta, will you ever come find me? / there’s nothing wrong with a sinner saying please
I’ve been out with the night fishermen / and the women all wearing Harley-Davidson / whose arms and legs are made of Virginia Slims
There’s something going on / on the banks of the river / oh, Marietta, will you ever / come find me down by the river bank? / there’s nothing wrong with a sinner giving thanks
The railroad boys are setting off fireworks / and those redhead girls got all the percs / can’t recall their names / but we laughed till it hurt
There’s nothing going on / but there’s something going on / oh, Marietta
(written with Morris Paul Lippens)
