The River Lyrics

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
The river she can save

[Chorus]
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 -

[Instrumental]

[Bridge: Children]
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

[Chorus: Singer and Children]
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

[Outro: Singer and Children]
Oh, my Lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The bottom of the river
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river
