Ten Miles Wide

You got to bury, bury

Bury your dyin' mother

Bury your dyin' mother

in the ground, ground, ground

Because one day, one day

One day she'll be singin'

up in the sky, sky, sky

Well one day, sister

One day your baby sister

One day your sister, she went to the river

and drowned, drowned, drowned

But one day, one day

One day she'll be dancin'

up in the sky, sky, sky

Well your father, he was lonely

your father was a drunk and lonely

your father was a drunk and lonely

said he had a terrible mouth

But one day, one day

He'll be dancin with the devil down below

Between the prophets and the Judas

there runs a river murky

there runs a river murky

said it's over ten miles wide

And we can meet out in the middle

and we can swim on up that river

'till we die, die, die
