[Verse 1] Take the old man to the river's mercy Wearing his father's coat and woven pedigree Take his old friends from the gentry To the river, the river is thirsty Take his old girl to the river's mercy Wearing a heavy thread heirloom tapestry Take his old girl with him, his family tree To the river, the river is thirsty [Chorus] Take his old blood His moon and sun To the river [Verse 2] And the white rows, like ribbons of Lisbon And roll with the field like a flag that is waving And the black rows, they sowеd their own chain Get a dollar with a calico for their nеwborn baby And the bell sends a key to the lock And a whistle in the wind that carries the wings And the guard dogs that catch the call Put the key to freedom in the hand of Redeemers Now the iron cloth that's cut from the loom Bears a black and white stripe of a cotton field rolling And the dark minds and flame of Redeemers Put them right back in the iron cloth and the flag is waving [Chorus] Take his old blood His moon and sun To the river, it's thirsty [Bridge] Take him by the hand to the river Lead him by the hand into the water Let the heavy thread drink up the water Let the heavy thread drag him down to the bottom Take him by the hand to the river Lead him by the hand into the water Let the heavy thread drink up the water Let the heavy thread drag him down to the bottom Lead him by the hand to the river Lead him by the hand into the water Let the heavy thread drink up the water Let the heavy thread drag him down [Chorus] Take his old blood His moon and sun To the river, it's thirsty
