RIVER OF TEARS
WORDS: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY / MUSIC: THE RAYMEN
EDITION JUMAR MUSIC, 1986
Take me down where the muddy waters flow
To the place where the weeping willows grow
Where the blue bonfires are burning so bright
Along the trail of the lonesome pine
Cry, cry, cry…me a river…a river of tears
Cry, cry, cry…me a river…a river of tears
Well, it’s the place where they broken-hearted go
It’s the place that you ought to know
If your baby leaves you the other day
Go to the river kneel down and pray
Cry, cry, cry…me a river…a river of tears
Cry, cry, cry…me a river…a river of tears… oh, cry
Well, it keeps flowing straight away
Through the city of heartbreaks
Through peaceful valleys, no one has ever seen
‘Til it dies away in the endless sea
Cry, cry, cry…me a river…a river of tears
Cry, cry, cry…me a river…a river of tears
Cry, cry, cry…me a river…a river of tears
