Songtexte
[Verse 1]
Down a lonely river
Where the big bulrushes grow
You find the old frog jumping the water
He won't come up no more, babe
Won't come up no more, baby
Won't come up no more, ooh
Won't come up no more, sugar mama
Won't come up no more
[Verse 2]
Smell that burning fire, baby
Burning in the sand
See that devil rise, mama
Sure wanna take your hand now
Sure wanna take your hand, mama
Sure wanna take your hand, ooh
Sure wanna take your hand now, sugar mama
Sure wanna take your hand
[Verse 3]
Oh, harvest moon
Keep shining your light down on me
The Lord reach out His hand
My soul floats on out to Thee
[Verse 4]
I don't feel no pain
When they shot me down
Lay my body out, baby
They put me in the ground so cold
Put me in the ground, baby
Put me in the ground, ooh
Put me in the ground, sugar mama
Put me in the ground
