_ _ Hold my _ hand, oh baby it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand, oh baby it's a long way down, a long way down
If you get sleep, or if you get night
The cock's gonna call in the morning baby
And check the cupboard for your daddy's gun
Red sun [C#m] rises like an early warning
[E] The Lord's gonna come for your firstborn son
The fire's on fire [N] and his heart is burning
So go to the river where the water _ runs
Wash him deep where the tides are [E] turning
And if you _ _ fall, and [F#] if you fall
_ [F#m] Hold my hand, oh baby it's a [A#] long way down [B] to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand, [E] oh baby it's a long way down, a long way [B] down
The wolves will chase you, but the pale moon light
Trunk and trimmed [Bm] by a devil's song [B] girl
Drive [Bm] your son like a railroad spy
Get to the water, let it pull [E] him under
But don't you lift him, let him drown alive
The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder
The [B] lake got fever, make the water [Bm] run
And let it go
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [G#] Oh baby [F#m] it's a long way down [E] to the bottom [Bm] of the river
Hold my hand, oh [F#m] baby it's a long way down, [E] a long [Bm] way down
