{Intro}

I never had no regrets, boys
Not for nothing I've done
I owed the devil some debts, boys
Paid them all up but one
And I don't even regret the living
That I'll be leaving behind
I've gotten weary of searching
For something I couldn't find

I'm going down to the shade
By the river one more time
And feel the breeze on my face before I die
I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck to the losers
Then bend me down and kiss the world goodbye

Come to lucky-in-lovin'
I never had no complaints
They never said I was evil
But then, I wasn't no saint
I'm just a river that rolled forever
And never got to the sea
I ain't blaming nobody
I had it coming to me
I'm going down to the shade
By the river one more time
And feel the breeze on my face before I die
I'm gonna leave whatever's left
Of my luck to the losers
Then bend me down, and kiss the world goodbye
