She said take your trouble to the river
Let the muddy water wash it away
If the truth don't float back up to the top
You can bid our love good day
So I took to the edge, I dove on in
The current went and stole me away
Rocks and gravel, I ain't got a paddle
To dig my dying grave
See a trail of tears come trickling down
Where the water's got a bitter taste
My heart is heavy and my boots ain't steady
And the waves keep slapping my face
I can hear her voice in the howling rain
Saying it's sink or swim
But the deed's all done, I'm going down
And I won't be back again
God damn this river
And its wandering ways
And the love we made
Was shallow indeed
I'm sinking like a ship
I'm a runaway devil
And I ain't got a paddle
Going up sh*t creek
Let the muddy water wash it away
If the truth don't float back up to the top
You can bid our love good day
So I took to the edge, I dove on in
The current went and stole me away
Rocks and gravel, I ain't got a paddle
To dig my dying grave
See a trail of tears come trickling down
Where the water's got a bitter taste
My heart is heavy and my boots ain't steady
And the waves keep slapping my face
I can hear her voice in the howling rain
Saying it's sink or swim
But the deed's all done, I'm going down
And I won't be back again
God damn this river
And its wandering ways
And the love we made
Was shallow indeed
I'm sinking like a ship
I'm a runaway devil
And I ain't got a paddle
Going up sh*t creek
