By the River Songtext
von Me and That Man

Down by the river
I′ll be soothing my soul
And digging my grave
In this goddamn hole
Oh, this goddamn hole

Please call my mother
Send my warm regards
Kiss me my lover
My last goodbyes


Oh, my last goodbyes
Deep into the night
'Tis my last goodbye
Stray away from light

They laid down my body
And they laid it down low
I rest here forsaken
In the bloody hole
Oh, this goddamn hole

Away from the living
All those I have let down
My heart is still beating
This funeral drum


Oh, this funeral drum
Far away from the sun
The countdown has begun
Beat my funeral drum
