weary deep down in your soul,
hear my voice rolling like a river
I won't ever leave you alone
Ain't no chain gonna hold you now
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain't it time to bury them all?
Ain't no chain gonna hold you now
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain't it time to bury them both?
Oh, child, when you're in darkness
Them devils circling around
Don't you go thinking it's hopeless
Stakes on getting lost to be found
Ain't no crate gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone,
ain't it time to bury them bones?
Ain't no chain gonna hold you now
Ain't no crate gonna hold you now
ain't it time to bury the bow
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
Ain't no grave gonna hold you down
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain't it time to bury them bones
Take me down to the river
Ain't it time to bury the love?
Take me down, take me down
Take me down to the water
Ain't it time to bury the love?
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
