Delta Rae - Bottom Of The RiverLyrics

Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down If you get sleep or if you get none The cock's gonna call in the morning, baby Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun Red sun rises like an early warning The Lord's gonna come for your first born son His hair's on fire and his heart is burning So go to the river where the water runs Wash him deep where the tides are turning And if you fall If you fall Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger Drive your son like a railroad spike Into the water, let it pull him under Don't you lift him, let him drown alive The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder Let that fever make the water rise And let the river run dry And I said Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way, a long long long way Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
