I was dragged out by the shore man

A very poor man

A very nice man

A family man.



My lover drifted down the river

Below the dark water

The devil all around.



Yesterday on the street

Someone called out your name

Someone thought that you were me

Last night there was a party

I could not go

I walked around it

I thought about it

All night long

Today there is a newspaper

About you and me

And the day we were married

The same day.



The same day they fell in love

The same day they died in love.



I did not want you to die alone

Rusty river run down

Runrun as fast as you canoh run

Rusty river run ragged

And drag my lover's self back to me

I'll meet him there

Water and air.



Oh to be at the bottom of a river

Below the dark water

The devil all around

The devil all around.
