[Chorus] [a cappella]
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
[Verse 1] [a cappella]
If you get sleep or if you get none
[The cock's gonna call in the mornin', baby]
Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun
[Red sun rises like an early warnin']
The Lord's gonna come for your first born son
[His hair's on fire and his heart is burnin']
So go to the river where the water runs
[Wash him deep where the tides are turnin']
[Bridge] [a cappella]
And if you fall
An' if you fall
[Chorus]
AmHold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a loAmng way down to the bDottom of the river
AmHold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a loAmng way down, a lDong way down
[Verse 2]
The wAmolves will chase you by the pale moonlight
Am[Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger]
DAmrive your son like a railroad spike
[AmInto the water, let it pull him under]
DDon't you lift him, let him drown alive
[The Amgood Lord speaks like a rollin' thunder]
LAmet that fever make the water rise
[And Emlet the river run dry,] and I said
[Chorus]
AmHold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a loAmng way down to the bDottom of the river
AmHold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a loAmng way down, a lDong way down
[Chorus]
AmHold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a loAmng way, a long long Dlong way
An' Amhold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a loAmng way down, a lDong way down
