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

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 weeping and hurting like that

Yes she did daddy

Yes she did that

Yes she did daddy

Yes she did yes she did
