[Bm] Oh my lord, take this hoe, lay me at the bottom of the river.
The devil has come to carry me home, lay me at the bottom, the bottom of the river.
[D] [Bm]
[B] Oh my lord, take this hand, save me from the gallows.
Shed this bruise, spare my woe, lay me in the shallows.
Evil come if you call my name, the wicked day shall rise.
[B] The river sin's gonna wash me clean if the river [Bm] don't run dry.
Oh my lord, take this hoe, lay me at the bottom of the river.
