River

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my wicked, weary head and die.

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my head and die.

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my head and die.

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my head and die.

And i know not a soul will cry

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my head and die.

Well i've squandered my days in depravity,

Slandered and stole, rained misery,

But now it seems i am too old to flee,

So i lay my head down to die.

Well i've swindled my kinfolk, betrayed my friends,

Manipulated for my own wicked ends,

But the reaper has no need for amends,

So i lay down my head to die, and i fear not a soul will cry.

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my head and die.

(solo)

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my head and die.

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my head and die.

Well the devil is comin', and he wants his due,

So make sure this fate doesn't befall you,

Be good to your soul, and you'll find love that's true,

So when you lay down your head to die,

You can breathe a contented sigh

But its too late for me, so

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my head and die.

Take me to the river, take me to the river, take me to the river,

So i can lay down my weary, wicked head and die.
