Well, the river runs deep
And the water is cold as ice
River runs deep
And the water is cold as ice
I go down there every chance 
I getIt's where my baby, she met her death
And the river runs deep
And the water is cold as ice
Ain't no woman
Gonna make a fool out of me
Ain't no woman
Gonna make a fool out of me
Running 'round, that's what they said
She's at the bottom of the river dead
And the river runs deep
The water is cold as ice
Cheating woman
Gonna get a good man down
Cheating woman
Gonna get a good man down
Running 'round like a silly fool
End up at the bottom of the pool
The river runs deep
The water is cold as ice
The river runs deep
The water is cold as ice
The river runs deep
The water is cold as ice
And the river runs deep
The water is cold as ice
The river runs deep
The water is cold as ice
The river runs deep
The water is cold as ice
