Ouachita River (feat. Stefanie Joyce)

There's a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River Jack Williams worked a ferry on the Ouachita River line For five sixty five an hour, he hauled them people side to side Our love was a rush like a flood in the spring Our love was enough til the bridge came Jack Williams took to drinking and giving me black eyes Around that time I reckoned Jack wasn't quite my type I could've called the law I could've up and left But I took some rope and a bag of stones and I tied him up instead Run, river, run Cover up what I've done Carry away what's left of the sinner There's secrets in the Arkansas sand Mud on my boots and blood on my hands And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River Spring turned into summer And Jack was never found I guess the Bradley County sherrif didn't miss having him around And now I walk across the bridge with a big smile on my face And I throw some yellow roses on Jack William's grave Run River run, cover up what I've done Carry away what's left of that sinner There's secrets in the Arkansas sand Mud on my boots and blood on my hands And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River That bridge did him in in more ways than one Ten feet of muddy 'tween Jack and the sun That bridge did him in in more ways than one Ten feet of muddy 'tween Jack and the sun Run River run, cover up what I've done Carry away what's left of that sinner There's secrets in the Arkansas sand Mud on my boots and blood on my hands And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River There's a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
