you're welcome, Mister Mountain Dog ;-)

The lyrics - as I hear them - go like this:

I'm ready for the river, the shivery river, the river that runs down to the sea

I'm gonna drown my troubles an' leave just some bubbles indicate what used to be me

I made my will, I wrote some notes, I'm gonna keep walkin' 'til my straw hat floats

I'm ready for the river, the shivery river, so get that river ready for me, I say, get that river ready for me
