riversong


by Rene Foran


i ain't 
going down
to the river 
to pray
gonna build me 
a fortress
gonna get 
the hell away
getting my 
ass off the grid
getting it 
good and hid
no i ain't 
going down
to the river 
to pray

i ain't 
going down
to wait 
for no king
it's live free 
or die here
all 
or nothing
all i'm 
serving is fish
it ain't 
on no silver dish
no i ain't 
going down
to wait 
for no king

i ain't 
going down
to the river to cry
left my 
lover in the city
didn't even 
say goodbye
pulled the 
wool off my head
found i 
was almost dead
no i ain't 
going down
to the river 
to cry

and i ain't
going back 
to the city
to die
