Trouble River Lyrics

There's a river runs through this valley
Cold and deep and black
Comin' like a tombstone shadow across my back
[Chorus:]
Trouble river, six foot high and risin
Trouble river, I can't keep from cryin'

I woke up last night shakin'
Shakin' from a dream
That all I seen was smiling faces staring back at me
[Chorus]

Snakes crawling in the hi house
I'm stuck in muddy ground
Tonight I'm gonna shed this skin
And I'll be breathin' free air now

[Chorus]
