Bottom Of The River Lyrics - Carry The Fire - Delta Rae

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down 

If you get sleep or if you get none 

(The cock's gonna call in the morning, baby) 

Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun 

(Red sun rises like an early warning) 

The Lord's gonna come for your first born son 

(His hair's on fire and his heart is burning) 

So go to the river where the water runs 

Wash him deep where the tides are turning 

And if you fall 

And if you fall 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down 

The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight 

(Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger) 

Drive your son like a railroad spike 

(Into the water, let it pull him under) 

Don't you lift him, let him drown alive 

(The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder) 

Let that fever make the water rise 

(And let the river run dry) 

And I said 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way, a long long long way 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down 

Hold my hand 

Hold my hand 

Hold my hand (hold my hand) 

It's a long way down, to the bottom 

Hold my hand 

It's a long way down, a long way down 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way, hold on now 

Hold my hand 

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
