The Eskies - Down By the River lyrics

Artist: The Eskies

album: After the Sherry Went Round


Oh! What a suffering soul was she I still hear her cry,
No blood ran bluer, no eyes turned greener,
What a fool, what a fool, to have loved one so cruel,
He done broke that womans heart before he'd seen her,
(She saw red) She had nowhere left to hide,
(She saw red) She'd go down by the river.
With a knot in her head that could not quite be untied,
And a hill in her heart that was always getting steeper,
And a thorn in her side that some twisted sense of pride,
Had allowed time to drive even deeper,
So maybe it would come to pass, these waters would revive her,
Kicking and screaming she dragged them both away,
Free, could it be? Absolved of all this damned misanthropy,
Or maybe every second spent was worthless,
Show me an act of retribution that's been carried out purely,
Show me a soul unspoiled by greed or envy,
Show me a heart that's free from sin, Looks just the same turned outside in,
Or from this sentence, I implore, rescind me.
