I saw you walking down by the river, down by the water
Dragging a heavy load
What I saw I don't know
If I believe it, does it make it so?
I saw you walking down by the river, own by the water
I wish I had never gone
What I saw left me cold
If I believe it, does it make it so?
If I asked you would you tell me no?
Down by the river's ditch, it’s where I die
My body was broken, my wrists were tied
Floating in the reeds and tangled in the reeds
That’s where this lies
Where I was walking down by the river, down by the water
Dragging a heavy load
What I saw, I don't know
I dreamed of a red river
I dreamed in red
