Sold Down The River

by

Wesley A. Storer

There lived a man long long ago
Whose story is often told
Who had a coat of many colors
Red blue yellow green and gold
And he had some big bad brothers
Didn't like things he told

REFRAIN
He(she) got sold down the river
Sold down the river
Sold down the river all alone
Don't say that you're the winner
That you did it all on your own
They got sold down the river

all alone

REPEAT REFRAIN
They brought in old John Henry
Wrapped up all in chains
To slave the Southern plantations
One day out picking cotton
They told him his poor old momma
Got sold down the river
Sold down the river all alone

REPEAT REFRAIN
And they sent our poor boys over
To fight the Vietnam war
Although McCarthur told them not to
Then the sad story got told
How Mr. Walker sold the Cong our code

REPEAT REFRAIN

The story of the Lord is also told
30 little pieces of silver got him sold
Just to prove what people say is true
He got sold down the river
Sold down the river just like you
