Down By the River
View ArtistLyrics
Down by the river, the children will play Their mothers will wash their hands from blood Their fathers will tell them tales of the past Their fathers will hold their hands in the dark Little hands in the dark Singing oh lord Your alters are needed most near the gallows Your alters are needed most near the gallows Near the gallows Near the gallows Near the gallows Rising from the ground up to the sky As hanging bodies try to lie awake And nobody knows why they are tiеd down By the river the shorе is lined with ghosts Too many boats never reaching a coast And in this country, too many people drew borders that other people Others can't cross Down by the river the shore is lined with ghosts That don't even know that they're ghosts Singing oh lord Your alters are needed most near the gallows Your alters are needed most near the gallows Near the gallows Near the gallows Near the gallows Rising from the ground up to the sky As hanging bodies try to lie awake And nobody knows why they are tied down By the river, the children will play Their mothers will wash their hands from the blood Their fathers will tell them, tell them tales of the past Their fathers will hold their hands in the dark Little hands in the dark Singing oh darkness comes and darkness goes But everybody knows Lord your alters are needed most Down, down, down by the the river
