Said you're gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river |
|
Shoot me down, put my body in the river |
|
While the whole world sings, sing it like a song |
|
The whole world sings like there's nothing going wrong |
|
He shot her down, he put her body in the river |
|
He covered her up but I went to get her |
|
And I said, "My girl, what happened to you now?" |
|
I said, "My girl, we gotta stop it somehow" |
|
Oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand |
|
Gonna do for a world that's so sick and sad? |
|
Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand |
|
Gonna do for a world that's so gone mad? |
|
He's gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river |
|
Cover me up with the leaves of September |
|
Like an old sad song, you heard it all before |
|
Well, Delia's gone but I'm settling the score |
|
Oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand |
|
Gonna do for a world that's just dying slow? |
|
Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand |
|
Gonna do for his daughter when it's her turn to go? |
