Down by the river, Judge Simpson walking around

Down by the river, Judge Simpson walking around

Some of you women, you really know your stuff
E7                                      B7
Some of you women, you really know your stuff
         F#7
But your clothes are all torn
         E7                       B7
And your language is a little too rough
