The River Lyrics

h 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

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

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

The Devil has come to carry me home,

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.
