about

Written by Mark Anthony Febbo

lyrics

Alfie walked along the bank holding his brother’s hand
Except for when he slipped on out of sight
And the muddy water rushed, in a monsoon mood
And Alfie sat and cried by riverside

Alfie joined the big old war in ‘42
He was still around in ‘45
Touched down in the Pacific right after Little Boy
And Alfie saw those ghosts by riverside

By riverside La Llorrona is calling
By riverside she wails in the night
She says it’ll be alright
Baby just close your eyes

Alfie came back to Tucson by Pacific train
Carmela swore that she would never leave his side
And they were in and out of love with babies on the way
And they picnicked on down by riverside

But Alfie took his picnic from a paper sack
He found some sort of comfort in the wine
He found himself more lonely when he wasn’t so alone
Cause Alfie talked to ghosts by riverside

By riverside La Llorrona is calling
By riverside she wails in the night
She says it’ll be alright
Baby just close your eyes

Many moons had passed since Alfie felt some love
Carmela swore that she would leave his side
And that felt like muddy water in a monsoon mood
But Alfie dried his eyes by riverside

'Cause Alfie yearned to hold grandchildren on his knee
To tell them stories and see them play with dirt
To walk them on down to the rodeo grounds
To feed the horses down by riverside

By riverside La Llorrona is calling
By riverside she wails in the night
She says it’ll be alright
Baby just close your eyes
