Ouachita River
There's a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
Jack Williams worked a ferry on the Ouachita River line
For five sixty five an hour, he hauled them people side to side
Our love was a rush like a flood in the spring
Our love was enough til the bridge came
Jack Williams took to drinking and giving me black eyes
Around that time I reckoned Jack wasn't quite my type
I could've called the law
I could've up and left
But I took some rope and a bag of stones and I tied him up instead
Run, river, run
Cover up what I've done
Carry away what's left of the sinner
There's secrets in the Arkansas sand
Mud on my boots and blood on my hands
And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
Spring turned into summer
And Jack was never found
I guess the Bradley County sherrif didn't miss having him around
And now I walk across the bridge with a big smile on my face
And I throw some yellow roses on Jack William's grave
Run River run, cover up what I've done
Carry away what's left of that sinner
There's secrets in the Arkansas sand
Mud on my boots and blood on my hands
And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
That bridge did him in in more ways than one
Ten feet of muddy 'tween Jack and the sun
That bridge did him in in more ways than one
Ten feet of muddy 'tween Jack and the sun
Run River run, cover up what I've done
Carry away what's left of that sinner
There's secrets in the Arkansas sand
Mud on my boots and blood on my hands
And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
There's a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
Jack Williams worked a ferry on the Ouachita River line
For five sixty five an hour, he hauled them people side to side
Our love was a rush like a flood in the spring
Our love was enough til the bridge came
Jack Williams took to drinking and giving me black eyes
Around that time I reckoned Jack wasn't quite my type
I could've called the law
I could've up and left
But I took some rope and a bag of stones and I tied him up instead
Run, river, run
Cover up what I've done
Carry away what's left of the sinner
There's secrets in the Arkansas sand
Mud on my boots and blood on my hands
And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
Spring turned into summer
And Jack was never found
I guess the Bradley County sherrif didn't miss having him around
And now I walk across the bridge with a big smile on my face
And I throw some yellow roses on Jack William's grave
Run River run, cover up what I've done
Carry away what's left of that sinner
There's secrets in the Arkansas sand
Mud on my boots and blood on my hands
And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
That bridge did him in in more ways than one
Ten feet of muddy 'tween Jack and the sun
That bridge did him in in more ways than one
Ten feet of muddy 'tween Jack and the sun
Run River run, cover up what I've done
Carry away what's left of that sinner
There's secrets in the Arkansas sand
Mud on my boots and blood on my hands
And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
There's a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
