Son of the Big River

Regretful clouds, crying my sorrow drowning us all
Regretful clouds, crying my sorrow drowning us all
Sad in my tear rollin’ down my face
Too the pain of the truth it’s comin’ now

This river is the devil, makes me frazzled to the bone
This river is the devil, makes me frazzled to the bone
I got no fish swimming in my room, I’m hookless on the ground

All this crying, flooding my heart that dries out
All this crying, flooding my heart that dries out
I’m the child of the river, waiting for the sun through my door

Stop this train Lord! Lord have mercy on me
Stop this train Lord! Keep the rain far away from me
I need my woman to heat my soul
Prayin’ for my Lord to do what He has me
