The River 歌詞

I've done a bad thing, it's okay I'm going down to the river today And the river's gonna wash my sins away 'Til I'm born again tomorrow Oh, to get over my head Make me forget my sorrow I'm going down to the river alone Don't tell Mama and Daddy I'm gone And if they cry when I don't come home Just lie and tell them I'm funnin' Whoa, to get out of my eyes Into the river wide I'm runnin' And I can't swim but it's alright 'Cause all my sin will drag me down even if I could And if it weren't for him and the love that night I'd be living for the light like a good girl should 'Cause a good girl should This old town will have my skin I can't speak the trouble I'm in So if I don't come back again Go lie beneath the willow 'Cause where I carved my name Is where my soul, you'll remain And I'll still know Lord, and I can't swim but it's alright 'Cause all my sin will drag me down even if I could And if it weren't for him and the love that night I'd be living for the light like a good girl should 'Cause a good girl should When I meet the Lord so kind I'm gonna give Him a piece of my mind And I'll tell Him I wanna know why oh why When He's so damned forgivin' My daddy won't look in my eyes Momma knows the lies I'm living Oh, and I can't swim but it's alright 'Cause all my sin will drag me down even if I could And if it weren't for him and the love that night I'd be living for the light like a good girl should 'Cause a good girl should
