The River
by Blues Saraceno
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’ll come if you call my name
The wicked day shall rise
The river’s sin’s 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 (bottom of the river)
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom, the bottom of the river

Good song. Before reading the lyrics, I first thought it was this song, which I like.

Probably dark is why I like it. The group has another song, “Dance in the Graveyard” I also like.
