The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
River, river, soon I'm gonna be
Over on the other side,
Water, water,
I just gotta be
Over on the other side,
Don't be long, now, 'cause I'm movin' on,
In the mornin' they're gonna find me gone,
Movin' over on the other side,
Movin' over on the other side,
Come on and follow me
You'll be satisfied.
Chorus:
On the other side
(the sun will shine)
On the other side
Everything is fine,
On the other side,
We'll learn to be content, I know,
Where the grass is green
We'll step ashore,
And the air is clean,
So weep no more,
Leave your troubles far behind,
On the other side.
No more lonesome city misery,
Over on the other side,
That's why ev'rybody ought to be
Over on the other side,
Don't you tell me "Get to work at nine",
Gonna do things in my own sweet time,
I'm movin' over on the other side,
Movin' over on the other side,
Come on and follow me
You'll be satisfied.
