The river bottom is so deep There is no sand or sludge And heavy hands and tired hands And fish the whale is in fish net
The river bottom is so deep there is no time to breath free And fishermen are far from grounds and ropes are rubbed with their hands The night is darker than the dark and stars are flying from the skies They in hummock they sleep in time when river is so deep
Strong people are fuckn' really hard God bless them all (life is all I got) And let the waters of all seas be home for them and share its salt The river bottom is so deeep there is no sand or sludge And fishermen are far from grounds and fish the whale is in fish net
