Dowdy Ferry Road Lyrics - England Dan & John Ford Coley

1 I remember when I was a child

2 My daddy said to me

3 We want you to grow up, son

4 A-lovin' your mom and me

5 But there's gonna be hard times

6 When you bound to feelin' low

7 And there's a place of jubilation

8 Where the ragged people go

9 It's over on a back road

10 On the other side of town

11 In the quiet of the evening

12 Sometimes you can hear the sound

13 We'd all sit and listen

14 And Mama'd say, "Baby don't you know

15 That's the people's jubilation

16 On Dowdy Ferry Road"

17 They're singing it on the corner

18 Dancing in the street

19 Movin' to the music

20 Swayin' cheek to cheek

21 If you get the feeling

22 You'll never want to go

23 You'll want to live forever

24 On Dowdy Ferry Road

25 I saw her through a window

26 A-starin' back at me

27 I ask her what her name was

28 She told me Sara Lee

29 And as we were walkin'

30 She said, "Teach me to be free"

31 I said, "The only place to go

32 Is down Dowdy Ferry Road"

33 We're singing it on the corner

34 Dancing in the street

35 Movin' to the music

36 Swayin' cheek to cheek

37 I heard her softly sayin'

38 "I love you, don't you know?

39 And we could live forever

40 On Dowdy Ferry Road"

41 Singing it on the corner

42 Dancing in the street

43 Movin' to the music

44 Swayin' cheek to cheek

45 If you get the feeling

46 You'll never want to go

47 You'll want to live forever

48 On Dowdy Ferry Road

49 Singing it on the corner

50 Dancing in the street

51 Movin' to the music

52 Swayin' cheek to cheek

53 If you get the feeling

54 You'll never want to go

55 You'll want to live forever

56 On Dowdy Ferry Road

57 Singing it on the corner

58 Dancing in the street

59 Movin' to the music

60 Swayin' cheek to cheek

61 If you get the feeling

62 You'll never want to go

63 You'll want to live forever

64 On Dowdy Ferry Road
