|
Hold my hand |
|
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river |
|
Hold my hand, |
|
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down |
|
If you get sleep or if you get none |
|
The clock's gonna call in the morning, baby |
|
Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun |
|
Red sun rises like an early warning |
|
The Lord's gonna come for your first born son |
|
His hair's on fire and his heart is burning |
|
Go to the river where the water runs |
|
Wash him deep where the tides are turning |
|
And if you fall |
|
Hold my hand |
|
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river |
|
Hold my hand, |
|
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down |
|
The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight |
|
Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger |
|
Drive your son like a railroad spike |
|
And let the river run dry |
|
And I said |
|
Hold my hand |
|
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river |
|
Hold my hand, |
|
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down |
|
Hey! |
|
Oh, oh, oh |
|
Oh, oh, oh (Jordan: Long, long way) |
|
Oh, oh, oh (Jordan: Hold my hand, yeah) |
|
Oh, oh, oh (Jordan: Yeah, yeah, and) |
|
Hold my hand |
|
Ooh, baby, it's a long way, a long way down |
