Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way  
(Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river  
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day  
(Oh yeah)  
Three singing birds told me  
By sunrise he's always there in the morning  
praying And blessing the day  
I heard about this little tale long time ago  
But never had the faith to believe in my soul (yeah)  
Now mother nature sent to me three little birds  
Singing a son convincing me it was so  
Now I'm on my way  
Anyone come to see me this day  
Tell them I'll be gone for the day  
(Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river  
Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way  
(Oh yeah) I'll be down by the river  
Singing songs of joy on this lovely day
