lirik lagu dead on the river (rolling down) – ian noe
[verse 1]
mary almost made it to twenty-nine
the mother of an orphan and a friend of mine
painted up with high heels on her feet
making what she could from this filthy street
[chorus]
dead on the river yesterday
been gutted like some varmint, so they say
with a tangled rope around her, she was bound
dead on the river, rolling down
[verse 2]
well, i was quotin’ scripture at an early age
the old man ruled his household in a gospel rage
up and down our hallway, the bible spilled
left behind a sinner in the mill and field
[chorus]
dead on the river yesterday
i don’t know how much longer that i can stay
they’re saying now there were two more bodies found
dead on the river, rolling down
[verse 3]
the feds are in their best suits, pulling rank
scattered out with their bloodhounds along the bank
and the city lights, they flicker on the one-lane bridge
the siren echoes bouncing along the ridge
[chorus]
dead on the river yesterday
i need a flood to wash my sins away
like an ancient hickory, twisted, turning brown
dead on the river, rolling down
