Shannon and the Clams - In the River lyrics

I told my baby, "Don't you get lost" She fell in the river and now she's gone I miss her badly, I loved her so I need some magic to bring her home Now she's gone I miss her so Can't see where that river goes I saw the witch man, I cried and moaned He said, "Boy, magic is what I know Swallow this spider, eat this shell of black Against the current, she'll float right back" Now she's gone I miss her so Can't see where that river goes A year went by, I watched the banks Then up the river one day she came A giant eggshell, I looked inside My baby lay there with a feathered hide Now she's gone I miss her so Can't see where that river goes
