Down by the river I'll be soothing my soul And digging my grave In this goddamn hole Oh, this goddamn hole Please call my mother Send my warm regards Kiss me my lover My last goodbyes Oh, my last goodbyes Deep into the night 'Tis my last goodbye Stray away from light They laid down my body And they laid it down low I rest here forsaken In the bloody hole Oh, this goddamn hole Away from the living All those I have let down My heart is still beating This funeral drum Oh, this funeral drum Far away from the sun The countdown has begun Beat my funeral drum
