Down by the River II

Down by the river

the corn is creepin

I cry for my lover

my lover's sleepin

Bad as it gets

gotten worse

I wanna run

Had to learn to crawl

The house on fire

the treaty's broken

I call for the law

the law is a token

As bad as it gets

it's gotten worse

I wanna run

I had to learn to crawl

This trip is the worst

I don't mean maybe

I call for the captain

She cries like a baby

As bad as it gets

it's gotten worse

I wanna run

I had to learn to crawl first

Bye-bye

Bye-bye baby my friend

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye baby

and she cries

and she cries

and she...

and then she...

I mighta not known

I mighta not guessed

I mighta been fine if she'd never confessed

As bad as it gets

it's gotten worse

I wanna run

I had to learn to crawl

Bye-bye

Bye-bye baby my friend

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye baby

It's time to leave

but I don't know when
