Well, the river runs through this valley

Combing deep and black [?]

Coming like a tombstone's

Shadows across my back



Trouble river

Six foot high and risin'

Trouble river

I can't keep from cryin'



Woke up last night a'shakin'

Shakin' from a dream

All i seen was smilin' faces

Starin' back at me



Trouble river

Six foot high and risin'

Trouble river

I can't keep from cryin'



Snakes crawling in the house

I'm stuck in muddy ground

Tonight i'm gonna shed this skin

Cause water's risin' and i goin' down to

Trouble river

Six foot high and risin'

Trouble river

I can't keep from cryin'
