Oh my lord 

Take this hand 

Save me from the gallows 

Hear this news 

Bear my gold 

Lay me in the shallows 

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 

[Estribillo]

Bm
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 

Hear my woe 

There's blood upon the valley 

Deliver me from worry 

The devils hand is gonna strike me down 

Gut me to my grave 

The river's song is gonna pull me through
