lyrics

Man, I lost my car keys
Man, I lost my bag
Man, I lost my boyfriend
lost him in the dregs
I lost my Mama
I lost my Pa
lost my little sister, Man
Everyone I ever loved...

There's snakes in the river, Man
Won't you be so kind and carry me over?
I said there's snakes in the river, Man
And the water's dark and clouded over
So won't you carry me on over?
Put me on your shoulder, Man, and set me free.

There's tracks in the mud, Man
Won't you be so kind and carry me over?
I said there's tracks in the mud, Man...
leading right up into the water
So won't you carry me on over?
Put me on your shoulder, Man, and set me free.
I said you can set me free.

There's blood in the river, Man
Won't you be so kind and carry me over?
There's blood in the river, Man
And I know it's mine, that red in the water
So won't you carry me on over?
I could really use your shoulder, Man, to set me free.
You can set me free.
