I was 18 my brother was 21
One saturday evening when all the work was done
We went down to the river we had some lines to run
My brother Walter Had a fight the week before
Knocked a boy named wilson through the pool hall door
They say dont mess with wilson, unless you want a war
We put the boat in the water, and we made that engine run
Loaded up the lantern against the sinkin' sun
And my brother Walter, was loading his gun
And we went down the river
I hope it sounds ok, I figured it out by ear. I dont know if it's 100% or not.
