Rhino: Story is of a guy's girlfriend(or wife?) who cheated on him. She didn't have the heart to tell him in person, so she ends up killing herself by jumping into the river and drowning. Before doing so, she leaves him a farewell note telling him what she had done. She anchored the note with her glove. The verse: moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife, is just a way of saying that the river that took his love's life was more deadly than if she had killed herself with a knife.

Interesting rendition of this classic. Still like Pat Boone's best though.

In USA this song was released on the LP "Johnny Rivers in Action", that was not released on Brazil til 1976. In the 60's, the songs from this LP were released in various LPs (as this) and singles, and some remained unreleased here until 1976. This is the rare mono version, not released on CD yet.
