I'm Goin' Down to the river
To see if I can be baptised
I'm goin down to the river girl
To see my body rise
So Give me whiskey, when I'm thirsty
Religion, when I'm dry
Long legs when I'm lonely
And morphine so I can die
Tell you there ain't no heaven
There ain't no burnin' hell
Where you go when it ends little girl
Can't nobody tell
So Give me whiskey, when I'm thirsty
Religion, when I'm dry
Long legs when I'm lonely
And morphine so I can die
I'm Goin' down to the river
To see if I can drown
I'm Goin' down to the river girl
My body won't be found
