See her down at the liquor store, Goin' to drink those troubles And some more Down at the old rogue river, That old rogue river You were daddy's sunshine daisy Left for good, went down to his grave Mother Mary, full of grace, Won't you watch these children In my place I'm going under the river, That old rogue river Seemed like nothing could be Said by song(?) There's a fire in the little ones, Lord It burns hot, Lord, and It burns bright She leaves an angel, locked in light(?) Watching over her and sisters too, Mama and papa gone, angels will Have to do for now Lord, have mercy in my dying age, There's been too much [?] And there's been too much shame Left my babies in the cold, now my Heart is aching 'cause I've been Growing old Feel is rise up into my throat, Lay these troubles down and Lift my soul I'm goin' to Pray forgiveness Let me go Pray, my children and their children know Not to do what I have done, But let go Lay these troubles down, Lift my soul Lift my soul, Lift my soul up and over the river, That old rogue river Lift up and over the river, That old road river
