cry you a river - benjamin tod & matt heckler lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
far from the town down in these hills
where the coyotes call with the whip*poor*wills
could you lend to me an ear to tell?
i could cry you a river and get your fill

[verse 2]
i k!lled a man in ’85
to airdrie hill they drug my hide
by the cold stone wall we worked and died
i could cry you a river from dawn ’til night

[verse 3]
broth and tack to start each day
and the cart would crash, and the mule would bray
my blistered hands would weave and pray
i could cross green river and get away

[verse 4]
a screw would watch from the furnace high
and the hammer’s rang in perfect time
a lonely leaf fell from the sky
i could cry me a river to paradise

[verse 5]
the winter came, and the river swelled
and the days were short, and darkness fell
i made my mind to leave this h*ll
i could cross green river and live to tell
[verse 6]
and the day was dealt to die or run
and the jailer slipped and dropped his gun
and though i fought, the current won
i will drown in the river ’til freedom come
i will drown in the river ’til freedom come

- benjamin tod matt heckler lyrics
