Let go the dealer's hand and
Oh, such tenderness, yeah
Let go the other man's hand
And treat me with some decency
But since we've parted, darling
I can't get a hold on nothing
I can't live without your loving
All those promises of yours
They just dissolve to nothing
I can't live without your loving
A road on Sweet Milk River
I flowed down brackish sea
I flowed down mannish water
Wash away these sins from me
I flowed down sweet milk river
I flowed down brackish sea
I flowed down mannish water
Wash away these sins from me
Oh tenderness babe, blatant heresy
Well, when you act the queen of crime
Well, oh such refined noblesse,
yeah, it's almost regency
and treat me with some decency, yeah
Since we've parted, darling,
I can't get a hold on nothing
I can't live without your loving
All those promises of yours,
they don't evoke to nothing
I can't live without your loving
I roll on sweet milk river,
I float down mannish water,
I roll on sweet milk river,
Float down mannish water,
bring the love on back for me
Well, don't you hear me sayin', yeah?
Roll on, sweet milk river
Float down, manna's water
Roll on, sweet milk river
Well, I'm a lonely man, and
Well, don't you hear me sayin', yeah?
Roll on, sweet milk river
I blow down mannish water,
bring the love on back for me
Roll on sweet milk river,
well don't you hear me singing
Roll on sweet milk river, roll
Don't you hear me singing, yeah
I blow down mannish water
Well don't you hear me singing, yeah
Well, I'm a lonely man, ain't he?
Well, don't you hear me singing, y 'all?
don't you hear me singing?
I'm a lonely man, ain't I
Don't you hear me singing, yeah
Hold on, man, it's starting
Don't you hear me singing,
