lyrics

don't go waiting for me, i'm gone
the same day that levee done broke
i rode that river in an old tin boat
and the rain kept splashing mean and cold
i saw the water rise beyond the road
an oak branch breaking and a baby's wail
an old man's hands on a wooden pail
and i know it's time to go, to go

i swear to jesus, no this time i mean it
i will not last very long
there's a pain that does seep from the base of my feet
into every last muscle and bone

the poison is coursing
i don't know how much longer i can hold on

i swear to jesus, no this time i mean it
i will not sleep till it's gone
deep in the eve 'neath the willow trees
i drank where two streams meet below
and oh you should see where the leaves dip beneath
the water that shimmers along
but you won't believe all the evils that keep
in the sparkling clear and cold

the poison is coursing
i don't know how much longer i can hold on
