Oh lord ain't been faithful
And worked damn hard in the sweat and sun
Oh lord didn't I pray for you 
and thanked you for all you've done
Oh lord you made the river
But won't you try to remember 
that you made me too
Oh lord hear me pray to you and
Make the river hear my plea
I'll keep breaking your heart 
Don't go breaking my heart 
Oh river stay away from my door 
River stay away from my door
