Come To The River

Well I woke up this morning

With nothing but blues on my mind

Well I woke up this morning

With nothing but blues on my mind

Oh please help me Lord

Sometimes I can't help but cry

All these creditors and interest

Rent man says pay up or go

In this ruthless society

No one gives a damn no more

Guess I'm back on the road

But don't know which way to turn

Well I went down to the river

To rest my weary head

I prayed to the Lord

And this is what he said

He says, you fight and you fight

Until you're dead and bones

But you try and you try

And you must never give up hope

So come on down to the river

And rest your weary head

Oh come home sweet child

Remember what the good book says

So come down to the river

The river of life

So come down to the river

The river of light

Oh come home sweet child

Remember what the good book said

We were born to be free

Whatever happened to you and me

But we'll fight it together

And make no mistake

Until the truth is ours

We'll do whatever it takes

Come to the river

The river of life

Won't you come to the river

The river of light

Oh come home sweet child

Remember what the good book said

Come to the river

Come to the river

Come home sweet child

Remember what the good book said
