Deep River Blues

作曲：Levi Stoker

作词：Levi Stoker

The bank is turning soft

And the mud is turning black

I'm carrying a history

That's breaking my back

The clouds are huddling low

Not a crowd at a grave

And there ain't enough whiskey

For the soul I gotta save

I've been stacking up the sandbags

Of the things I did wrong

While the water keeps humming its cold hearted song

There's a groan in the timber and a pull in the tide

And no place left for a broken man to hide

Oh I'm drownin' in the rhythm of the deep river blues

With nothing left to win and too much left to lose

It's a long dark heart to the other side

But I'm holding my head with a mountain of pride

Yeah the current's got a fury

But I've got the will and the deep river blue

I'm standing here still

I see the granddaddy's clock boat floating on by

Underneath the weight of a weeping sky

Everything I've planned and everything I've known

Is scattered like the seeds that the weather has blown

But a man is a measure by the house he can't keep

But by the way he walks when the water is deep

Oh I'm drowning in the rhythm of the deep river blue

With nothing left to win too much left to lose

It's a long dark road to the other side

But I'm holding my head with a mountain of pride

Yeah the color's got a fury but I've got the will and the deep river blues

I'm standing here still

Keep it rising

I'm still breathing

You can take the timber and you can take the shore

But you'll never take the spirit

That's knocking at the door

Deep river blue

Got nothing to lose

Know the truth
