[Verse 1] We're heading on our way today Making out for Clifton County I'm holding a twenty dollar bill That's large [Verse 2] I've heard some awful good things about The girls in Clifton County I've heard some awful things about Other folks they got up there But I'm heading out anyway Gonna take my chance today Right on alone on the road of fate That's my way, Clifton County [Instrumental] [Verse 3] We won't need to cut across the bay In order to save some time We hired a skiff from a sketchy man For a nickel in too dimes Boat had a hole and we didn't know She had a hole and we didn't know She's sinking way down low Half a mile off of Clifton County She's sinking, oh going down [Instrumental] [Verse 4] I tried to swim but I couldn't make it The current she was strong and I could not take her I'm sinking just as low Quarter mile off of Clifton County If you're on your way today Down around that bay Swim out a quarter mile and take a dive Take my 1975 Head on down the road Spend the night and spend my money Find yourself a real fine honey, you know I never really had my chance [Instrumental] (Clifton County) (Oh) (Clifton County)
