To my dearest forsaken
Who the earth now has taken
Empty, the bottle drains no more
It is true that I loved you
Despite the harm that I own you
Wash out the river has you boy
Here on the eve of too long
Where you'll think I've done wrong
Waking in fear of you no more
I'll put my trust in the Savior
Fielding forces of nature
Strength of the stump I tied you boy
To my dearest forsaken
Dearest vow I have broken
Afraid of your angry hands no more
I'll put my trust in the Savior
River may help me later
Sleeping my lost love for you boy
