[00:16]In September the sun rakes over the pond
[00:25]Just like a farmer rakes over the ground
[00:33]Like it's searching for something that swims down below
[00:42]To haul up and carry on home
[00:50]Mama told me that he lived here out past the grove
[00:59]Sometimes she rode that old pickup he drove
[01:07]When she passes that spot and looks to the west
[01:16]She touches her hand to her breast
[01:25]Heaven forbid they find him down there
[01:34]Breathing in water like we breathe the air
[01:42]Heaven's forgot him and left him to roam
[01:51]The watery halls all alone
[02:01]Annie Green said she saw him out there today
[02:10]Silver ring flashing as he turned away
[02:18]Those long auburn curls billowing slow
[02:27]The poor boy who lives down below
[02:36]Heaven forbid they find him down there
[02:44]Breathing in water like we breathe the air
[02:53]Heaven's forgot him and left him to roam
[03:01]The watery halls all alone
[03:12]He makes his bed where the Riverman sleeps
[03:21]He lays his head five fathoms deap
[03:29]He wanders the shoals where bottom weeds grow
[03:38]The poor boy who lives down below
[03:46]Heaven forbid they find him down there
[03:55]Breathing in water like we breathe the air
[04:03]Heaven's forgot him and left him to roam
[04:12]The watery halls all alone
[04:22]The watery halls all alone
