The Riverboat Man
He was conceived in the creek
Born underneath the willow tree
They all would call him a freak
But on the river he knew he was free
When the river runs red, with his innocence dead
The riverboat man would think of all the words the devil said
Until the river runs clear, there's no need to fear
I'll take away the pain with just a whisper in your ear
His vulnerability breeds
An eager harvest that's ready to reap
Some souls are bought as agreed
The rest are blessed as they commit to the deep
When the river runs red, with his innocence dead
The riverboat man would think of all the words the devil said
Until the river runs clear, there's no need to fear
I'll take away the pain with just a whisper in your ear
They all talk about the riverboat man
All talk about the riverboat man
All talk about the riverboat man
And how he's shackled to the river
When the river runs red, with his innocence dead
The riverboat man would think of all the words the devil said
Until the river runs clear, there's no need to fear
I'll take away the pain with just a whisper in your ear
(Just a whisper)
Just a whisper in your ear
(Just a whisper)
I'm gon' take away your pain
(Just a whisper in your ear)
They won't worry you, worry you, worry you again
Born underneath the willow tree
They all would call him a freak
But on the river he knew he was free
When the river runs red, with his innocence dead
The riverboat man would think of all the words the devil said
Until the river runs clear, there's no need to fear
I'll take away the pain with just a whisper in your ear
His vulnerability breeds
An eager harvest that's ready to reap
Some souls are bought as agreed
The rest are blessed as they commit to the deep
When the river runs red, with his innocence dead
The riverboat man would think of all the words the devil said
Until the river runs clear, there's no need to fear
I'll take away the pain with just a whisper in your ear
They all talk about the riverboat man
All talk about the riverboat man
All talk about the riverboat man
And how he's shackled to the river
When the river runs red, with his innocence dead
The riverboat man would think of all the words the devil said
Until the river runs clear, there's no need to fear
I'll take away the pain with just a whisper in your ear
(Just a whisper)
Just a whisper in your ear
(Just a whisper)
I'm gon' take away your pain
(Just a whisper in your ear)
They won't worry you, worry you, worry you again
