Hold my hand, oh baby it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand, oh baby it's a long way down, a long way down
And if you get sleep, or if you get night
The cock's gonna call in the morning, baby
And check the cupboard for your daddy's gun
Red sun rises like an early warning
The Lord's gonna come for your firstborn son
His hair's on fire and his heart is burning
A road to the river where the water [G] runs
Washing deep where the tides are turning
And if you fall, and if [F#] you fall
[B] Hold [D#] my hand, oh baby it's [A] a long way down to [G] the bottom of the river
[B] Hold my hand, [E] oh baby it's a long way down, a long way [B] down
The wolves will chase you, but the pale moonlight
Drunk and driven by a devil's song, girl
Drive your son like a railroad spy
Into the water, let it [E] pull him under
But don't you lift him, let him drown alive
The Lord speaks like a rolling thunder
[B] To let God's fever make the water [E] rise
Let the wind blow
[B]
