The River

Oh my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The Devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river

Oh my Lord take this hand
Save me from the gallows
Hear this news, bear my gold
Lay me in the shallows
Evil will come if you call my name
The wicked day shall rise
The river's sins gonna wash me clean
The river don't run dry
Oh my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The Devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river

Oh my Lord here my woe
There's blood upon the valley
Take this sword to kill I've done
Deliver me from worry
The devil's hands gonna strike me down
Cut me to my grave
The river's songs gonna pull me through
The river she can save

Oh my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The Devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the

Oh my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
Oh my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
Oh my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The Devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
Oh my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The Devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom, the bottom of the river
Oh my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The Devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river
