๐ Lyrics
They drug me down to the old cold river
They're gonna throw me in
'Cus I've been caught sleeping with the daughter
Of the only man in town who can swim
Now I'm facing the old cold river my back against the wind
They gon' throw me down to the bottom of the river
Never to rise again
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Down, to rest with the fish
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Just as the old man wished
The sea sleeps and the moon is hanging
Something I'd rather do
But I'm facing the old cold river
Bed of eternal blue
And with no reason to breathe, without the right to love free
Sleep in the deep, sink like a drink
Until again when we meet
And be down, down to the old cold bottom
Down, to rest with the fish
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Just as the old man wished
They can't save me
Nobody can save me
They can't save me now
They can't save me
I don't want 'em to save me if I must live without
I'd rather drown into the old cold bottom
Down, to rest with the fish
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Just as the old town wished
Yeah I'm facing the old cold river, nothing against the wind
Oh come throw me down to the bottom of the river
Come on and throw me in
They can't save me
Nobody can't save me
They can't save me now
They can't save me
I don't want 'em to save me if I must live without
I'd rather drown
'Till I rise to the wide open sky
Down to the bottom old lonely bottom
'Till I rise to the wide open sky
Leaving this place where love's forbidden
Life without her, oh ain't worth living
Leaving this place where love's forbidden
Life without her, just ain't worth living
I drown to the bottom old lonely bottom
'Till I rise to the wide open sky
Down to the bottom, old lonely bottom until I rise
I sink down, down the old cold bottom
Down, to rest in peace
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Just as the old man wished
They're gonna throw me in
'Cus I've been caught sleeping with the daughter
Of the only man in town who can swim
Now I'm facing the old cold river my back against the wind
They gon' throw me down to the bottom of the river
Never to rise again
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Down, to rest with the fish
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Just as the old man wished
The sea sleeps and the moon is hanging
Something I'd rather do
But I'm facing the old cold river
Bed of eternal blue
And with no reason to breathe, without the right to love free
Sleep in the deep, sink like a drink
Until again when we meet
And be down, down to the old cold bottom
Down, to rest with the fish
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Just as the old man wished
They can't save me
Nobody can save me
They can't save me now
They can't save me
I don't want 'em to save me if I must live without
I'd rather drown into the old cold bottom
Down, to rest with the fish
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Just as the old town wished
Yeah I'm facing the old cold river, nothing against the wind
Oh come throw me down to the bottom of the river
Come on and throw me in
They can't save me
Nobody can't save me
They can't save me now
They can't save me
I don't want 'em to save me if I must live without
I'd rather drown
'Till I rise to the wide open sky
Down to the bottom old lonely bottom
'Till I rise to the wide open sky
Leaving this place where love's forbidden
Life without her, oh ain't worth living
Leaving this place where love's forbidden
Life without her, just ain't worth living
I drown to the bottom old lonely bottom
'Till I rise to the wide open sky
Down to the bottom, old lonely bottom until I rise
I sink down, down the old cold bottom
Down, to rest in peace
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Just as the old man wished
