OH RIVER
by Dave Borins

Oh river Oh River
keep rolling, keep rolling
carry me down to the basin
Oh River Oh River
Go swiftly, Go Swiftly
You Don't Know the Trouble I'm Facing

Ive got me a brother, he looks just like me,
Except hes the good one, Im evil
He never done nothing, that hed be ashamed of
While my soul is the devils retrieval

When I was a young boy, I had some find mentors
So find that the sheriff would chase em
My my brother was smart, he looked at my start
And followed a path less disgracing

Oh river Oh River
keep rolling, keep rolling
carry me down to the basin
Oh River Oh River
Go swiftly, Go Swiftly
You Don't Know the Trouble I'm Facing

Once I fell behind with the wrong sort of man
I knew that my brother could help me
His wife was at home, when I asked for my loan
As fine as the desert is dusty

But mon frere saw me stare, as I reached out my hand
He knew of my thoughts before I did
His fist came around, and I fell to the ground
And I figured it was time that I hid

So Im Building a raft out of recycled wood
And if I can escape, I know I will live good
As good as my brother with his virtuous life
And Ill find me a lady as, cute as his wife
