Gonna take my body down
Right down, down, down to the river
Gonna take my body down
Let the water carry me away
Just float away
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings?
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
(Oh) Carry me away
I'll float away (Oh)
In the river
Gonna lay my head right down
Right now, now, now and forever
Gonna lay my head right down
Let the water carry me away
Just float away
Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings?
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
(Oh) Carry me away
I'll float away (Oh)
In the river, oh-oh
In the river, oh-oh
In the river, oh, yеah
Bury all of my things
Bury me in my skin
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm donе
Who'd wanna be a king
Pulling too many strings?
All that I've done
Oh Lord, I'm done
(Oh)
Gonna take my body down
Right down, down, down to the river
