It was a blinding light
A sheer tornado of pain
I had a whisky fury
Pounding like the devils rain
Down by the river
It's alright
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight
Up on a mountain side
I was touching heaven
I was a servant boy
But I was just a killer
Down by the river
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight
We don't take no prisoners here
Down by the river
Ain't no mystery here
Mystery in this world of mine
Hold on baby
Hold on to this night
A sheer tornado of pain
I had a whisky fury
Pounding like the devils rain
Down by the river
It's alright
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight
Up on a mountain side
I was touching heaven
I was a servant boy
But I was just a killer
Down by the river
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight
We don't take no prisoners here
Down by the river
Ain't no mystery here
Mystery in this world of mine
Hold on baby
Hold on to this night
