River Man

The river's cold and deep
And it's wider than my eyes can see
But not wider than my eyes
The moment I realized, whoa
The night that he rowed on up and you rolled on out

He's got a hold on me
I could be healthy as healthy could be
It's not a choice to be made
There's no precautions to take, oh no
Just a chance to get right in my mind and to brighten my soul

I'll fall asleep like the rest of them
Into the deep when the river man comes
Don't try to cheat him he won't give a damn
'Cause he's the river man

He gives a cold, dark speech
And I reckon my reckoning's reached
He got me thinking about my
Thinking about my soul
And I'm thinking I'll fold on up and be thrown on out

I'll fall asleep like the rest of them
Into the deep when the river man comes
Don't try to cheat him he won't give a damn
'Cause he's the river man

I'll fall asleep like the rest of them
Into the deep when the river man comes
Don't try to cheat him he won't give a damn
'Cause he's the river man

The river's cold and deep
And it's wider than my eyes can see
But not wider than my eyes
The moment I realized, whoa
The night that he rowed on up and you rolled on out
