Sold my soul to the River Man
Sold my soul down the river of Gruene and red
Mr Fields and Mr Dickman there holding us to our word
Making sure we sold our soul down that river of green
and red in Gruene
Sold my soul to the rive man
Counted us down one to seven
All I only number old number seven hesitated
Sold my soul to the River Man
Sold my soul to the River Man
Them duplexes they will be built
Flood way will wash the entire lot down the river
Sold my soul to the River Man
Sold my soul to the River Man
Sold my soul down the river of Gruene and red
Mr Fields and Mr Dickman there holding us to our word
Making sure we sold our soul down that river of green
and red in Gruene
Sold my soul to the River Man
One night then people going to die
Water comes up fast washing everything away
Them bodies floating down that river of Gruene & red
Sold my soul to the River Man
Stuck just like them yellow busses wrapped around those poles
Others their bodies bouncing off washing right by
Sold my soul to the River Man
Sold my soul to the River Man
Sold my soul down the river of Gruene and red
Mr Fields and Mr Dickman there holding us to our word
Making sure we sold our soul down that river of green
and red in Gruene
My souls now floating down that green red river to hell
Lord I want to get off this river of hell
Lord Save my soul from the River Man
Lord I give my life to you please get out of my watery hell
All for just a little more green I was willing to die
Sold my soul to the River Man
Sold my soul to the River Man
Sold my soul to the River Man
