the po’ ramblin' boys - take my ashes to the river كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
she was the parson’s only daughter
and a poor sharecropper’s dream
voice as sweet as falling water
from a cool clear mountain stream
we came to share a love forbidden
a union cursed by family
to be forever unforgiven
when we swore eternity

[verse 2]
we settled hard on twenty acres
plowed the fields and worked the land
then the fever came to take her
with its unforgiving hand
i triеd to soothe her aching body
but no peacе i could provide
she said, “i hear the angels singing softly
i’m bound to cross that great divide”

[chorus]
take me to the river (take my ashes to the river)
where it’s cold and deep (where the water’s cold and deep)
take me to the river (take my ashes to the river)
pray my soul to keep (pray the lord my soul to keep)
[verse 3]
a mournful morning late november
faithful to her last desire
i burned her body down to embers
scooped the ashes from the fire
down on the banks of the blackstone river
for to drown her memory
as her spirit i delivered
i hear her calling out to me

[chorus]
take me to the river (take my ashes to the river)
where it’s cold and deep (where the water’s cold and deep)
take me to the river (take my ashes to the river)
pray my soul to keep (pray the lord my soul to keep)
take me to the river (take my ashes to the river)
where it’s cold and deep (where the water’s cold and deep)
take me to the river (take my ashes to the river)
pray my soul to keep (pray the lord my soul to keep)
