Ode To Ol' John Doe Songtext
von The Blackwater Fever

The river is wide
When the tide is high
Harboring you

Innocence hides
The devil inside
Deep in you

From the sea
Through the reeds
Creatures take you
Piece by piece

And there he lays
Just under the waves
Through and through

The river she cries
And the willow replied
Don′t weep for him

Now the hour is late
The witch will awake
To stir her brew


Mosquitos are rife
Eat you alive
Prick by prick
They stuck you dry

A lone violin
For the killer within
Cries for you

The amber it bleeds
Down from the trees
In a silent hue

Above in the sky
The all-seeing eye
Glares down at you

Only heaven knows
What in hell bellows
And it pulls you down
Bone by bone

And there you'll stay
In a fiery grave
Sealed in doom
