Midnight River Lyrics

She was standing by the river

Knee deep in the midnight river

I could stay and watch forever

Washing her dress in the river

On muddy water moonlight schimmer

Blood was running down the river

I could stay and watch forever

Washing herself in the river

On bloody water moonlight schimmer

Tears were running down the river

Run little girl run girl run away

Nobody hears what you have to say

They're gonna come gonna find you sinner

Run with the blood running down the river

They're gonna come gonna damn you sinner

Run with the blood running down the river

Seven years gone serving time

Seven too long by the river Rhine

I looked her up I found her father

What word of your loving daughter

He said my son she's gone forever

She was taken by the river

Now I'm standing by the river

knee deep in the midnight river

Almost as if I could see her

Washing her dress in the river

On muddy water moonlight shimmer

She was taken by the river

Almost as if I could see her

Washing herself in the river

On bloody water moonlight shimmer

She was taken by the river

Run little girl run girl run away

Nobody hears what you have to say

They're gonna come gonna find you sinner

Run with the blood running down the river

They're gonna come gonna damn you sinner

Run with the blood running down the river

Run little girl run run

Run little girl run run

Run with the blood run run

Run with the blood run run

Run with the blood run run with the blood

Run with the blood run run with the blood run

Run with the blood run run with the blood run

Run with the blood run run with the blood run

I said run with the blood running down the river
