Bottom of the River

[00:28.88] Hold my hand

[00:30.39] Ooh baby it's a long way down to the bottom of the river

[00:34.89] Hold my hand

[00:36.88] Ooh baby it's a long way down

[00:39.39] A long way down

[00:42.13] If you get sleep or if you get none

[00:44.64] The cock's gonna call in the morning baby

[00:47.89] Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun

[00:51.14] Red sun rises like an early warning

[00:54.39] The Lord's gonna come for your firstborn son

[00:57.64] His hair's on fire and his heart is burning

[01:00.89] So go to the river where the water runs

[01:03.89] Wash him deep where the tides are turning

[01:07.14] And if you fall, if you fall

[01:13.88] Hold my hand

[01:15.39] Ooh baby it's a long way down to the bottom of the river

[01:20.13] Hold my hand

[01:22.38] Ooh baby it's a long way down

[01:25.13] A long way down

[01:26.89] The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight

[01:30.14] Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger

[01:33.13] Drive your son like a railroad spike

[01:36.64] Into the water, let it pull him under

[01:39.63] Don't you lift him, let him drown alive

[01:42.89] The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder

[01:46.14] Let that fever make the water rise

[01:49.38] And let the river run dry

[01:52.64] And I said hold my hand

[01:54.63] Ooh baby it's a long way down to the bottom of the river

[01:59.14] Hold my hand

[02:01.30] Ooh baby it's a long way down

[02:16.80] A long way down
