Flesh blood skin and bone
Drag me down to the river let’s go
Bury my body by the waterside
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Lay me down in the ground
My time is running out
And if l ever see you it'll be too soon
I’m taking my body back down south
Flesh blood skin and bone
Drag me down to the river let’s go
Bury my body by the waterside
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Mama said don’t you worry child
Wipe those tears from your eyes
You can sleep when you're dead and done
Until then don’t you worry son
Until then don’t you worry son
Until then don’t you worry son
Flesh blood skin and bone
Drag me down to the river let’s go
Bury my body by the waterside
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Oh set me free
Oh set me free
I’m going to the river to pray
But I ain't waiting on judgment day
Begging lord don’t you save my soul
Cause I don’t wanna come back no more
Flesh blood skin and bone
Drag me down to the river let’s go
Bury my body by the waterside
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Flesh blood skin and bone
Drag me down to the river let's go
Bury my body by the waterside
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Leave me there til the river runs dry
Leave me there til the river runs dry
