Oh my Lord take this soul

Lay me at the bottom of the river

The Devil has come to carry me home

Lay me at the bottom, the bottom of the river

And oh my Lord take this hand

Save me from the gallows

Hear this news, bear my gold

Lay me in the shallows

Evil will come if you call my name

The wicked day shall rise

The river's sins gonna wash me clean

The river don't run dry

Oh my Lord take this soul

Lay me at the bottom of the river

The Devil has come to carry me home

Lay me at the bottom, the bottom of the river

Oh my Lord here my woe

There's blood upon the valley

Take this sword, to kill I've done

Deliver me from worry

The devil's hands gonna strike me down

Cut me to my grave

The river's songs gonna pull me through

The river she can save

Oh my Lord take this soul

Lay me at the bottom of the river

The Devil has come to carry me home

Lay me at the bottom, the bottom of the...

Oh my Lord take this soul

Lay me at the bottom of the river

Oh my Lord take this soul

Lay me at the bottom of the river

Oh my Lord take this soul

Lay me at the bottom of the river

The Devil has come to carry me home

Lay me at the bottom...

Oh my Lord take this soul

Lay me at the bottom of the river

The Devil has come to carry me home

Lay me at the bottom, the bottom of the river

Oh my Lord take this soul

Lay me at the bottom of the river

The Devil has come to carry me home

Lay me at the bottom...the bottom of the river
