Down That River ft. Vicky Vega Lyrics

There's a pauper on a hill

Who's never felt the touch of silk

And there's a priest with no chapel

Who hides in filthy tunnels

'Cause they cry

For those who died so bitter

All those souls

Flowing so low, low

Down that river

Down that river of old sorrow

There's a soldier in a swamp

Who can't forget, oh, what he's done

And there's a merchant with no riches

Who scours the empty ditches

'Cause they cry

For those who died so bitter

All those souls

Flowing so low, low

Down that river

Down that river of old sorrow

'Cause they cry

For those who died so bitter

All those souls

Flowing so low, low

Down that river

Down that river of old sorrow

There's a lady who sees all

Who knew the world would fall

But she couldn't stop the waves

'Cause she knew it was too late

So she cries

For those who died so bitter

All those souls

Flowing so low, low, low

Down that river

Down that river of old

Down that river

Down that river of old

Down that river

Down that river of old sorrow
