Sit me down by the riverbank Watch me heave and curl The reaper comes for me Begging of your jealousy Knocking on the cold wood, sly
Nancy Malone oh let me die On this January night Grasping at the waves around Sink or swim oh how you lie A calming care look in your eye Cursing your name I try
One day I’ll be gone I’ll be long long gone Rent souless on a summer night You sat playing with a knife Between your crooked teeth Whistling your favorite tune
Hold your head up high For your longing breath Black your grave will be You begged for death And it came not a moment less Enjoy your wicked company
