Lyrics

All this gasoline pumps my heart
Burnin’ that book is a hell of a start
Out on that bayou your love will drown
Callin’ on your kin that spell is a spark
Cryin’ my love and I’m all bled out

Don’t drink the blood that’s down in the river
The devil’s throwin’ dirt in my eyes…I’m a sinner
Holy rollin’ love, is it enough
A slave man’s wage can’t buy you dinner

Don’t drink the blood that’s down in the river
The devil’s throwin’ dirt in my eyes…I’m a sinner
Kiss you on the forehead, dip you in the red
All my love layin’ on the riverbed

Down on Congo Square there’s (blood in the stone)
That’s a man’s story that (needs to be told)
His love went upstream, went down in the water
Finally in the afterlife they get to be lovers

Don’t drink the blood that’s down in the river
The devil’s throwin’ dirt in my eyes…I’m a sinner
Kiss you on the forehead, dip you in the red
All my love layin’ on the riverbed
