Rogue River Songtext
von Elephant Revival

See her down at the liquor store,
goin′ to drink those troubles
and some more

Down at the old rogue river,
that old rogue river You were daddy's sunshine daisy
Left for good, went down to his grave
Mother Mary, full of grace,
won′t you watch these children
in my place

I'm going under the river,
that old rogue river Seemed like nothing could be
said by song(?)
There's a fire in the little ones, Lord
It burns hot, Lord, and
it burns bright
She leaves an angel, locked in light(?)
Watching over her and sisters too,
mama and papa gone, angels will
have to do for now


Lord, have mercy in my dying age,
there′s been too much [?]
and there′s been too much shame
Left my babies in the cold, now my
heart is aching 'cause I′ve been
growing old

Feel is rise up into my throat,
lay these troubles down and
lift my soul
I'm goin′ to
pray forgiveness
Let me go
Pray, my children and their children know
not to do what I have done,
but let go

Lay these troubles down,
lift my soul

Lift my soul,
lift my soul up and over the river,
that old rogue river

Lift up and over the river,
that old road river
