There's a river in a canyon
Near the town where I was born
Where the grass was always greener
Than any other place I've known
And my heart was filled with sorrow
In my mind I feel the pain
For I know that by tomorrow
I won't see that place again
(Come on everybody)
Tell all the people, yeah, yeah
Tell your mother I've seen better days
Yeah there's no reason why I'd go on living, no
Tell your mother I've seen better days
Yes I have
Yes I've seen better days
There's a woman I remember
That I loved some years ago
And I met her in that canyon
And we watched the river flow
Then she told me that she loved me
And I believed in what she said
But when I found she loved another
I sat her down and I shot her dead, oh
(Come on everybody)
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Yeah
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Tell all the people, yeah
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Tell your mother I've seen better days
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Oh there's no reason, oh why I'd go on living, no no
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Oh tell your mother I've seen better days
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Yes I have
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Yes I've seen better days
Mm, woah, ohh
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Oh, I'd go right down to the river
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Oh yeah
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Tell your mother, yeah I've seen, I've seen better days
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Yes I have
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Come on tell your, tell your mother
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) I'd go right back down to that river
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Tell your mother I've seen better days
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...) Oh yes I have
Tell your mother that I've seen better days
(Ahh, ahh, a-a-ahh, ahh, a-a-ahh)
