lyrics

I was born on a Monday, when the sun hung red
And the clouds bled fire and my mama said
Oh this one will be trouble she's gonna break my heart
Tear my world apart she'll be better dead

So she took me to the river, for to cleanse my soul
Lay my body down, make my spirit whole
She left me where she killed me as the sky turned black
She walked away and never looked back

And the river it did love me
The river it embraced me
The river, the river pulled me down

Well my daddy never knew me, though he knew the pain
Of the hopeless struggle, of he fight in vain
When she came home empty handed, empty bellied how he raged
Feel my righteous anger like the rain

Then he took her to the river, for to save her soul
Lay her body bare, cut her pretty throat
And he held her in the water as her sight grew dim
And he let the river pull him in

And the river it did love them
The river it embraced them
The river, the river pulled them down
And the river it did love us
The river it embraced us
The river, the river pulled us down
