River, river soon I'm gonna be
Over on the other side
Water, water I just gotta be
Over on the other side
It won't be long now 'cause I'm movin' on
In the mornin' you're gonna find me gone
I'm movin' over on the other side
Movin' over on the other side
C'mon and follow me you'll be satisfied
(On the other side)
The sun will shine
(On the other side)
Everything is fine
(On the other side)
Oh yes, we'll learn to be content
I know
(Where the grass is green)
We're gonna step ashore
(Where the air is clean)
There we'll weep no more
(Leave your troubles)
Far behind
(On the other side)
No more lonesome city misery
Over on the other side
That's why everybody oughta be
Over on the other side
Now don't you tell me to get to work at night
I'm gonna do things in my own sweet time
I'm movin' over on the other side
Movin' over on the other side
C'mon and follow me you'll be satisfied
(On the other side)
The sun will shine
(On the other side)
Everything is fine
(On the other side)
Oh yes, we'll learn to be content
I know
(Where the grass is green)
We're gonna step ashore
(And the air is clean)
There we'll weep no more
(Leave your troubles)
Far behind
Far behind
Yes, far behind
On the other
Side
