Go lean on a river
You old master trouble giver
You're just another mother fake
So go lean over on a lake

When your baby says she loves you
Never do you any wrong
Then she puts herself above you
You just sing to her this song

Go lean on a river
You old master trouble giver
You're just another mother fake
So go lean over on a lake

Who's that man sayin' he wants me
To walk in line, do as I am told?
Do what my mind says to me
Let's all tell him where to go

Go lean on a river
You old master trouble giver
You're just another mother fake
So go lean over on a lake
