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'
