Standin' in the river
Singin' to the crows
They pick off the telephone wire
And fly on down to say hello
And as the rain starts fallin'
I'm surrounded by a familiar slough
So I'm just gonna stay right here in this river
'Til I float right on home
To you
The fog is rollin'
In like lumps of clay
They be lookin' like vessels
Of runaway slaves
Dragged back for trade
And like a swallow to Capistrano
With a love so blind
And so true
I'm just gonna stay right here in this river
'Til I float right on home
To you
What I've got to sing you
In the cellblock of this song
And what I've got to tell you
Will only come out rude and wrong
It's that I hope I die before you
But if you do go first
I'm gonna chase after your casket
Like a dog
Standin' in the river
Singin' to the crows
They pick off the telephone wire
And fly on down to say hello
And now it don't much matter
That those storm clouds have turned
A threatening hue
I'm just gonna stay right here in this river
'Til I float right on home
