Louisiana Train Wreck

I hang my head & tears I start to cry

I see the river, the river's wide

Mile of moonlight, too much to hide

I see the faces. I get the news

I see the water. I read the shoes

Down by the riverside

The corn is creaking, the moon's on high

Bodies broken, the house on fire

down by the riverside

Now me & you, we were born to disagree

Out on the highway's a mess of a night

tank car burnin with a terrible light

Be the boss. Look here son

You'll go far. You'll be the one

down by the riverside

The corn is creaking, the moon's on high

Bodies broken, the house on fire

down by the riverside

Of all the dreams that haunt the awful black

I see the steamboat, golden stacks, jump the river

won't go back

Face to face me & you

Then there's one and I'm going too

down by the riverside

The corn is creaking, the moon's on high

Bodies broken, the house on fire

down by the riverside

down by the riverside

down by the riverside
