Dead River Songtext
von Helldorado

All along the river of misery and woe
I′m ridin' through the darkness and I′m feelin' low
All along the highway of trouble and strife
The highway I have travelled most of my life

Where will it end?
This journey of trials
Tell me my friend
Where will it end?

Way over yonder I will lay me down
And sleep forever sleep

Boots of coal black leather with silver spurs so bright
I'm ridin′ through the badlands in the dead of the night
Ridin′ through the desert, ridin' through the sand
But will I ever reach the promised land?


Where do they end?
These days of depression
Tell me my friend
Where do they end?

Way over yonder I will lay me down
And sleep forever sleep

One of these mornings dreary and cold
I′m going to the mountain where I can rest my soul
No longer will I suffer, no longer be a slave
My soul belongs to Heaven, my body to my grave

I'm going where
There ain′t no depression
And no more trials
I'm going there

Way over yonder I will lay me down
And sleep forever sleep
