River
d-suke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wash my blues away
Going down to the river
Wash my blues away
But the river was empty
And now I'm drowning in pain
Gonna find me a river
A River with a different name
A River with a different Name
But cigarettes and whiskey
Is the only thing to ease my pain
Gonna walk that river
Down to New Orleans
Gonna walk that river
Down to New Orleans
Find a voodoo women take this curse off of me
Going down to the river, Wash my blues away
Going down to the river, Wash my blues away
But the river was empty and now I'm drowning in pain
