[Intro]
Go down Ganges, slow and sanctified
Got them Jack Mormon blues, lose you in the tide
Well, it's kingdom come, kingdom go
I’m gonna' tell you somethin' that you didn’t wanna' know
Oh, mama, lose you in the tide
Gonna' have to get yourself over to the other side
[Verse 1]
And besides the breeze, we're all alone tonight
The rain and the river gonna' get it right
And you can clean the sheets, bury the wool
Tie it to the carriage, but you're gonna have to pull
Oh, mama, it's only me tonight
You're gonna' have to get yourself over to the other side
Of that mighty river
That mighty river
[Verse 2]
Tivoli, there's eddies in her eyes
And she ain't gonna' bend, she don't apologize
Well it's ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
When the water starts rising, everything is gonna' rust
Oh, mama, she don't apologize
You're gonna' have to get yourself over to the other side
Of that mighty river
Of that mighty river
That mighty river
[Chorus]
Calling out, like a Canaan dog (Wide and furious)
From the mouth of the river, to your riparian soul
Calling out, calling out, like a Canaan dog (Canaan dog)
From the mouth of the river, to your riparian soul
[Verse 3]
Mina Lisa vets you with her eyes
And outside the Louvre, remain hypnotized
Well, it's one-by-one, two-by-two
And come tomorrow morning, you're gonna' know just what to do
But, oh, mama, you got me hypnotized
Gonna' have to get yourself over to the other side
Of that mighty river
Of that mighty river
That mighty river
[Chorus]
Calling out, like a Canaan dog (Wide and furious)
From the mouth of the river, to your riparian soul
Calling out, calling out, like a Canaan dog (Canaan dog)
From the mouth of the river, to your riparian soul
Calling out, like a Canaan dog (Wide and furious)
From the mouth of the river, to your riparian soul
[Bridge]
(Oh, c'mon), of that mighty river
Of that mighty river (You can fool the priest)
Of that mighty river (Fool the cops)
Of that mighty river (Drown it in the river)
Of that mighty river (But it’s never gonna' stop)
Of that mighty river, that mighty river
Of that mighty river, that mighty river
The mighty river, the mighty river
That mighty river, that mighty river
That mighty river, that mighty river
That mighty river, that mighty river
