lirik lagu to the river down – adder’s fork
to the river down
[intro]
i am bound to wander . . . over moor and heath
my spirit touches … the shadows
i am tied to this earth but i’m not a part of it
my body lies in the frozen ground
my body lies … deep, deep down
[verse 1]
nearby is the town where i grew up as a maid
i loved a man, who i married
but my neighbour was jealous and me she did betray
she spread a wicked falsehood through the town
through the town … crying
[chorus 1]
hunt that woman, hunt the witch, hunt that she-devil down
the mark of satan’s on her breast … hunt that woman down
[verse 2]
“let the water decide upon her innocence”
so down to the river i was taken
of a guilty verdict, they were all convinced
into the ducking stool, feet and hands were bound
hands were bound … they cried
[chorus 2]
drown that woman, drown the witch, hold that woman down
if she sinks, she’s innocent … so hold that woman down
[verse 3]
saw my husband’s stricken face as i took my final breath
felt a dark sadness close upon me
felt the river’s cold embrace as i met my watery death
and the crowd stood and watched, making not a sound
making not a sound … then crying
[chorus 3]
lay that woman in no ditch, but in the churchyard ground
she’s innocent – god rest her soul, so lay her body down
down, down down … deep, deep down
[outro]
ah, my little daughter … how do i grieve for thee
leave that town of death far behind you
ah, my little daughter who i nevermore shall see
think on the mother who did love you
and go you no more … to the river down
