The bottom of the river
Oh my lord
Take this hand
Save me from the gallows

Evil comes if you call my name
The wicked, they shall rise
The river sand's gonna wash me clean
The river don't run dry

The devils hand is gonna strike me down
Gut me to my grave
The rivers song is gonna pull me through
The river she can safe
