Tell me she didn't go to the river
Tell me she didn't throw herself in
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did that
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did, yes she did
Tell me she didn't leave her little children
Alone in the world with a drunken man
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did that
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did, yes she did
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me she didn't give up on living
Do something crazy she can't take back
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did that
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did, yes she did
Tell me she didn't leave everybody
Crying and weeping and hurting like that
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did that
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did, yes she did
