Take me down to that river
Bury me under the water
Lay me down on that stony ground
Deep in the water
Leave my bones to that river
To wash away my sin
Say a few kind words at the waters edge
Down by that river
I was not a saint
But i was not a bad man
Either without a lost
I didn't have a grand plan
I was just a plain, ordinary man
Tell my story to that river
Watch them words as they washed away
Leave a sweet smile of a lullaby
Down by that river
I was never rich
But i was not a poor man
Either without a bound
I didn't have a free hand
I was just a plain, ordinary man
Take my memory to that river
Wholly closely to your heart
When you leave then I'll be forgot
Down at that river
I was not a saint
But i was not a bad man
Either without a lost
I didn't have a grand plan
I was just a plain, ordinary man
I was never rich
But i was not a poor man
Either without a bound
I didn't have a free hand
I was just a plain, ordinary man
