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

Save me from the gallows

The wicked, they shall rise
The river sand's gonna wash me clean
The river don't run dry

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

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 -

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

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 bottom of the river
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river
