lyrics

A body in the river on a warm spring day
Once it was a girl but now she’s gone
Now she’s gone
(Once it was a girl but now she’s gone)
Drifting like a dolly broke and bent astray
(Once it was a girl but now she’s gone)

Now ain’t that a deal
Like the devil could deliver
While the banks are all blooming
There’s a body in the river

She was someone’s daughter
She was someone’s friend
Just a little driftwood in the end
In the end
(Just a little driftwood in the end)

She was someones lover
She’s what could’ve been
(Just a little driftwood in the end)

Make you wanna live
Make you wonder, make you shiver
Ain’t it cold, ain’t it lonely to be floating down the river?

Sitting there thinking with my fishing pole
Yonder lies the body where’s the soul
Where’s the soul?
(Yonder lies the body, where’s the soul?)

All the banks are blooming on a warm spring day
Yonder lies the body, where’s the soul?

Say a prayer for her
If you’re a believer
If you ain’t
Maybe you’d best stay away from the river
