	Don’t go by the river
	If you love your wife
	‘Cause you’ll make that girl a widow
	And you’ll cause her pain and strife
	If you go by the river side,
	You’ll lose your l-l-l-l-life!
	People by the river,
	They know who’s the boss
	They’ll get at fancy city folks
	No matter what the cost
	And if you go by the river side,
	You’ll end up l-l-l-l-lost!
	There's a bat they call Lestat
	Who’ll sink his teeth in you
	You might meet a creature from the swampy black lagoon
	And if the moon is full,
	You might meet the loup-garou
	Don’t go by the river side,
	You’ll be sorry if you do!
	A young man met a lady
	And she made this fellow swoon
	So they went on down to New Orleans
	To elope under the moon
	He took her by the river side,
	To give her the heir l-l-l-loom!
	Well the next day he got outta bed and
	She wasn’t by his side
	He searched the quarter high and low
	When the bayou far and wide
	Locals say she ran away
	But you know they l-l-l-l-lie!
	There's a bat they call Lestat
	Who’ll sink his teeth in you
	You might meet a creature from the swampy black lagoon
	And if the moon is full,
	You might meet the loup-garou
	Don’t go by the river side,
	You’ll be sorry if you do!
	Who shivers when they hear about voo-doo?
	Don’t lie to me, boy, I know you do!
	You better tremble when you hear me call!
	‘Cause you’d make a lovely shrunken head
	You’ll be my favorite voo-doo doll!
	Sting went by the river,
	Now he slings on Bourbon Street
	And there’s that song by Concrete Blonde about where it’s warm and green
	And if you go by the river side,
	You’ll never l-l-l-l-leave!
	There's a bat they call Lestat
	Who’ll sink his teeth in you
	You might meet a creature from the swampy black lagoon
	And if the moon is full,
	You might meet the loup-garou
	Don’t go by the river side,
	(Don’t go by the river side!)
	Said don’t go by that river side,
	(Said don’t go by that river side!)
	Don’t go by the river side,
	(Why's that?)
	‘Cause you might meet me if you do!

	Don' t go by the river
	If you love your wife
	' Cause you' ll make that girl a widow
	And you' ll cause her pain and strife
	If you go by the river side,
	You' ll lose your lllllife!

	You might meet a creature from the swampy black lagoon
	And if the moon is full,
	You might meet the loupgarou
	Don' t go by the river side,
	You' ll be sorry if you do!
