Well, the river runs deep
And the water is cold as ice.
The river runs deep
And the water is cold as ice.
I go down there every chance I get
It's where my baby she met her death
And the river runs deep
And the water's cold as ice.
Ain't no woman
Gonna make a fool out of me.
Ain't no woman
Gonna make a fool out of me.
Running 'round, that's what they said
She's at the bottom of the river dead
And the river runs deep
And the water's cold as ice.
No cheating woman
Gonna get a good man down.
No cheating woman
Gonna get a good man down.
Running 'round like a silly fool
You're gonna end up at the bottom of the pool
And the river runs deep
And the water's cold as ice.
