[00:11.59]Make your bed the river young girl
[00:17.15]Make your bed the river young girl
[00:23.66]La la la la la la:
[00:29.01]Make your bed the river young girl
[00:34.79]Did you come here to meet him my dear
[00:39.97]You're surprised to find only me
[00:46.09]Well I put him to rest at the bend in the river
[00:52.01]And the same I require of you
[00:57.90]I'm thick with disease in my madness
[01:02.92]Only one thought pacifies me
[01:09.49]That the murky black water grounds your bones to sand
[01:14.87]When the catfish have stripped off your hide
[01:20.43]Make your bed the river young girl
[01:25.73]Make your bed the river young girl
[01:31.75]I know you can't swim but I'll tuck you in
[01:37.40]Make your bed the river young girl
[01:54.11]So go down as his trembling bride
[01:59.94]For too frail are fury inside
[02:06.60]And if there's a chance the Lord recognizes you
[02:12.14]Pray he has more mercy than I
[02:17.12]Make your bed the river young girl
[02:22.97]Make your bed the river young girl
[02:29.81]I know you can't swim but I'll tuck you in
[02:34.43]Make your bed the river young girl
[02:40.12]Make your bed the river young girl
