I just wanna sleep all day
Rain on my roof
The river keeps rising
Ain't that the truth
It could wash me away
Down to the sea
Rollin' and tumblin'
So honey won't you
Play a song for me?
Yeah, I come from the cotton
I come from the mud
Yeah, I know what this water
Can do when she floods
It's a hard time upon us
In the land of the free
We're rollin' and tumblin'
So honey won't you
Play a song for me?
Way down low
Sing it for your river girl
All the river girls
And I've been on my knees
God only knows
So sing one for your river girl
All the river girls
Oooooooooh
People 'round here
They're tougher than most
Oh, we wrestle the devil
'Till we give up the ghost
Oh, but one of these days
Just wait and see
We'll be rollin' and tumblin'
So honey won't you
Play a song for me?
Play it way down low
Sing it for the river girl
All the river girls
And I've been on my knees
God only knows
He only knows
To sing it for the river girls
All the river girls
Oooooooooh
Oh, sing it for the river girl
Yeah
Sing it for the river girl
