I was born on a Monday, when the sun hung red And the clouds bled fire and my mama said Oh this one will be trouble she's gonna break my heart Tear my world apart she'll be better dead So she took me to the river, for to cleanse my soul Lay my body down, make my spirit whole She left me where she killed me as the sky turned black She walked away and never looked back And the river it did love me The river it embraced me The river, the river pulled me down Well my daddy never knew me, though he knew the pain Of the hopeless struggle, of he fight in vain When she came home empty handed, empty bellied how he raged Feel my righteous anger like the rain Then he took her to the river, for to save her soul Lay her body bare, cut her pretty throat And he held her in the water as her sight grew dim And he let the river pull him in And the river it did love them The river it embraced them The river, the river pulled them down And the river it did love us The river it embraced us The river, the river pulled us down
