Some people stand like trees without a word And what that means is that some people don't talk Oh, please, pardon me, mister You know I just didn't hear you that first time that you said that But now that you repeat for me, I'll be sure to do what I can You know I'm going to do what I can, do what I can, do-do-do-do what I can Gonna do what I can, do what I can, do-do-do-do what I can But no more, you understand? Oh, please, pardon me, father You know, I just didn't hear you that, that first time that you said th... Help me, help me, help me, help me, repeat it, repeat it, repeat it I'll be sure to do, do, do what I can Do what I can, do what I can, do, do, do, do what I can Gotta do what I can, do what I can, do, do, do, do what I can But no more, you understand?

Sink down, sink down, sink down, down, down to the bottom of the river Sink down, sink, sink down, down, down, down, to the bottom of the river, sink, down, sink Sink down, down. Down, down to bottom of the river Sink down, sink, sink down, down. Down, down to the bottom of the river Don't you know no one? You never tell on someone Don't you know no one? You ain't never gonna tell on someone Ah, ah, oh, I tell you what it's like, I tell you what it's like, oh I stood right up in the heart of Hell, I never tell I stood right up in the heart of Hell I'm never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell I'm never, never, never, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell Nothing, nothing, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell I'm never, never, never, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell Nothing, nothing, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell Ah...
