Red Banks - Amy LaVere
Walking down by the river
He'd take me there by the hand
We'd watch that sunset on that river
Just me and my man
Yeah just me and my man
Walking down by the river
He asked me where I been
He said if I go with another
He gon' push me in
Oh he gon' push me in
Walking down by the red bank
I found a skipping stone
Well I took aim I closed my eyes
And I prayed that stone was gone
Oh I prayed that stone was gone
I thought about trying to hide
I thought about running away
I thought about digging six feet deep
Down in the mississippi clay
Well he made a hole in the river
He weighed that water down
He made a hole in the river
He didn't make no sound
No he didn't make no sound
Now I walk that river bridge
That river bridge so tall
And I count all the sunsets
And I saw him fall
Things I saw him fall
Well he made a hole in the river
He weighed that water down
He made a hole in the river
No he didn't make no sound
I didn't push him in
No I didn't push him in
No I didn't push him in
No he'd a killed me if I did
He'd a killed me if I did
