I met my lover, down by the river.
She was running off with you.
But, I haven't seen her, since last winter.
So I don't what to do.
But, I hate the big river.
I hate the big river.
But they found her body, right there in the river.
she was carrying a bag of stones.
the day I shot, and I threw.
down by where the river goes.
I hate the big river.
yeah I hate the big river.
Well, I've got her letter, in my hand.
and I leaving Texas now.
so I buried, my old woman.
and the devil's got my name down.
I hate the big river.

I hate the big river.
I hate the big river.
