Lyrics
Ten Miles Wide
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.
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
