Bury Me Down By the River

I wasn't born in the morning, no

I must have been born in the night

I've done my load and I'll carry my load

And all I own is my knifeI wasn't born to be lucky

'Cause luck had no future with me

I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song

And stand beneath the hanging treeBury me down by the river

Let all the towns people see

Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay my head

Just put me down and set me freeI wasn't born as a rich man, no

A rich man I never, I never could be

I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song

And stand beneath the hanging tree

Everybody sing nowBury me down by the river, Lord no

Let all the towns people see, see

Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay, lay my head

Just put me down and set me free

I want to hear everybody singBury me down by the river

Let all the towns, let all the towns people see

Their enemy's dead, let me lay, let met lay, let me lay my head along

Just put me down and set me free
