Well, the river runs through this valley
Combing deep and black [?]
Coming like a tombstone's
Shadows across my back
Trouble River
Six foot high and risin'
Trouble River
I can't keep from cryin'
Woke up last night a'shakin'
Shakin' from a dream
All I seen was smilin' faces
Starin' back at me
Trouble River
Six foot high and risin'
Trouble River
I can't keep from cryin'
Snakes crawling in the house
I'm stuck in muddy ground
Tonight I'm gonna shed this skin
Cause water's risin' and I goin' down to
Trouble River
Six foot high and risin'
Trouble River
I can't keep from cryin'
