	She said take your trouble to the river
	Let the muddy water wash it away
	If the truth don't float back up to the top
	You can bid our love good day
	So I took to the edge, I dove on in,
	The current went and stole me away
	Rocks and gravel, I ain't got a paddle
	To dig my dying grave
	See a trail of tears come trickling down
	Where the water's got a bitter taste
	My heart is heavy and my boots ain't steady
	And the waves keep slapping my face
	I can hear her voice in the howling rain
	Saying it's sink or swim
	But the deed's all done, I'm going down
	And I won't be back again
	God damn this river
	And its wandering ways
	And the love we made
	Was shallow indeed
	I'm sinking like a ship
	I'm a runaway devil
	And I ain't got a paddle
	Going up sh*t creek
	There's a bend up ahead by the dead bulrushes
	Where the cottonmouth coil and play
	I've been floating by levies and rusted out Chevys
	For now on fifteen days
	In the fog, in the moon, in the Mississippi mud
	Everywhere I see her face
	But I'm only a pebble in the belly of the devil
	In a godforsaken place
	God damn this river
	And its wandering ways
	And the love we made
	Was shallow indeed
	I'm sinking like a ship
	I'm a runaway devil
	And I ain't got a paddle
	Going up sh*t creek
	Lie la lie la lie la…
	So I reach for the reeds and the roots of the willows
	That rise like a ghost from the bank
	Hear the roar and the crash of every lost soul
	That sprung a leak and sank
	When my body is a bag of broken bones
	With a farewell breath I call
	God damn you lover there will never be another
	And it's over the waterfall
	God damn this river
	And its wicked ways
	And the love we made
	Was bittersweet
	I'm sinking like a ship
	I'm a runaway devil
	And I ain't got a paddle
	I say God damn this river
	And its wandering ways
	And the love we made
	Was shallow indeed
	I'm sinking like a ship
	I'm a runaway devil
	And I ain't got a paddle
	Going up sh*t creek
	Lie la lie la lie la…
