Sell Me Down The River Lyrics

You can sell me down the river I'll bring a hefty price

You can barter with the traitor say I only used him twice

You can put me up for auction watch the bidding getting tough

You can sell me down the river cause I've been here long enough

You can call the federal marshal and claim that steep reward

They've been trying to track my movements I've been speaking to the lord

On the side of Satan's highway with a Jews harp and some stuff

You can call the federal marshals cause I've been here long enough

But there's nothing left to talk about and nothing left to say

When there's nothing left to do I always do it my own way

You can ad lib till you're out of breath but I say nothing off the cuff

You can sell me down the river cause I've been here long enough

You can write that poison letter to your friends and former boys

Hunt me down and beat me I won't make any noise

In the long run I can see it the way every life gets rough

So write that poison letter cause I've been here long enough

You can ask that magic mirror who's the fairest of them all

It'll answer with a question and some footsteps down the hall

The truth is hard to swallow babe and now it's time to call my bluff

So ask your magic mirror has I've been here long enough

Now there's nothing left to talk about and nothing left to say

When there's nothing left to do I always do it my own way

You can ad lib till you're out of breath but I say nothing off the cuff

You can sell me down the river cause I've been here long enough

You can sell me down the river I'll bring a hefty price

When you bargain with the traitor say I only used him twice

You can put me up for auction watch the bidding getting tough

You can sell me down the river cause I've been here long enough

You can sell me down the river honey

Because I've been here long enough

It must be long enough

Yeah I've been here so long
