Drowning Songtext
von Reigning Sound

I went walking down by the river
Under the bridge to Arkansas
The night wind was cold, Lord, and it made me shiver
But let me tell you about what I saw

Oh, I can′t tell you no lie
I said I saw the spark of love in her eye
And then it died and it made me cry

People talk, Lord, but they seldom listen
She's only seventeen, but she knows talk is cheap
And I told her to follow me, but she wouldn′t listen
I saw her walking down by the lonely river's edge


Oh, I can't tell you no lie
I said I saw the spark of love in her eye
And it died and it made me cry, yeah

People talk, Lord, but they seldom listen
She′s only seventeen, but she knows talk is cheap
I begged her to follow me, but she wouldn′t listen
I saw her walking down by the lonely river's edge

Oh, I can′t tell you no lie
I said that I saw the spark of love in her eye
And then it died and it made me cry

And she cried
"Oh, oh, sweet baby
Please, please, please save me"
She cried
"Oh, oh, sweet baby
Please, please, please save me"
