I saw you walking down by the river Down by the water Dragging a heavy load What I saw I don't know If I believe it Does it make it so I saw you walking down by the river Down by the water I wish i had never gone What I saw Left me cold If I believe it does it make it so If i asked you would you tell me no Down by the river's ditch, it's where I die My body was broken, my wrists were tied Floating in the reeds and tangled in the reeds That's where this lies Where I was walking down by the river Down by the water Dragging a heavy load What I saw, I don't know I dreamed of a red river I dreamed in red
