She warned him, warned not to go
He said I, I've got to go
She whispered I, I love you so
He said I, I've got to go
Night falls on the river valley
Night falls on the mines and fields
Night falls on the just and unjust
Night falls
And the next time there's trouble needs straightenin' out
There's dynamite under the porch
Me and my four kids are hungry
Man's yellin' through the screen door
All they can, in the morning
Shoulder to shoulder, end to end
You don't have to speak
You just have to stand
Steve Sutton died there on the bridge
Local three ninety three was born
A black and white picture of the color of the lord
The dam is broken the river comes
She warned him, warned not to go
He said I, I've got to go
She whispered I, I love you so
Night falls,
Night falls
