Aurelio Voltaire - Dont Go By The River lyrics

Dont go by the river If you love your wife 'cause you'll make that girl a widow And you'll cause her pain and strife Hell, if you go by the riverside you'll lose your l-l-l-l-life! People by the river They know who's the boss They'll get at fancy city folk No matter what the cost And if you go by the riverside, you'll end up l-l-l-l-lost! There's a bat they call Lestat Who will sink his teeth in you You might meet a creature From the swampy black lagoon And if the moon is full You might meet the Loop Garou! Dont go by the riverside! You'll be sorry if you do! A young man met a lady And she made this fellow swoon So they went on down to New Orleans To elope under the moon He took her by the riverside to giver her the heir-l-l-l-l-loom! Well the next day he got out of bed And she wasn't by his side He searched the quarter high and low And the bayou far and wide The locals say she ran away But y'know they l-l-l-l-lied! There's a bat they call Lestat Who will sink his teeth in you You might meet a creature From the swampy black lagoon And if the moon is full You might meet the Loop Garou! Dont go by the riverside! You'll be sorry if you do! Whos shivers when they hear my voodoo? Dont lie to me boy! I know you do! You better tremble when you hear me call! 'cause you'll make a lovely shrunken head You'll be my favorite voodoo doll1 Haha! Sting went by the river Now he slings on burben street And there's that song by Concrete Blonde About where it's warm and green And fi you go by the riverside You'll never l-l-l-l-leave! There's a bat they call Lestat Who will sink his teeth in you You might meet a creature From the swampy black lagoon And if the moon is full You might meet the Loop Garou! Dont go by the riverside! Dont go by the riverside! I'm singin' dont go by that riverside He said dont go by the riverside! Dont go by the riverside! Why's that? 'Cause you'll meet me if you do!
