Of this crime I’ll rid my soul
Gonna slide on down to the river
Gonna tell her all

So I told my troubles to the river
And I tossed them in the deep
And I washed my hands in the river
But the river brings more trouble to me

I told my troubles to the river
She shared them with the seas
She returned them to me doubled
The river holds no offer of peace
I can wash this blood from my fingers
I can wash this stain from my soul
But I can’t wash out your memories
The river returns them all.

I told my troubles to the river
She shared them with the deep
Yeah I told my troubles to the river
But the river brings them back to me
Yeah the river brings them back to me

Of this crime I’ll rid my soul
Gonna slide on down to the river
