Make your bed the river young girl
Make your
bed the river young girl
La la la la la
la:
Make your bed the river young girl
Did you come here to meet him my
dear
You're surprised to find only me
Well I put him to rest at the bend in the
river
And the same I require of you
I'm thick with disease in my madness
Only one thought pacifies me
That the
murky black water grounds your bones to sand
When the catfish have stripped off your
hide
Make your bed the river young
girl
Make your bed the river young girl
I know you can't swim but I'll tuck you in
Make your bed the river young girl
So go down as his trembling bride
For too
frail are fury inside
And if there's a
chance the Lord recognizes you
Pray he has
more mercy than I
Make your bed the
river young girl
Make your bed the river
young girl
I know you can't swim but I'll
tuck you in
Make your bed the river young
girl
