Rogue River - Elephant Revival

See her down at the liquor store

Goin' to drink those troubles

And some more

Down at the old rogue river

That old rogue river (x 2)

You were daddy’s sunshine daisy

Left for good, went down to his grave

Mother Mary, full of grace

Won’t you watch these children

In my place

I’m going under the river

That old rogue river (x 2)

Seemed like nothing could be

Said by song (?)

There’s a fire in the little ones, Lord

It burns hot, Lord, and

It burns bright

She leaves an angel, locked in light (?)

Watching over her and sisters too

Mama and papa gone, angels will

Have to do for now

Lord, have mercy in my dying age

There’s been too much

And there’s been too much shame

Left my babies in the cold, now my

Heart is aching 'cause I’ve been

Growing old

Feel is rise up into my throat

Lay these troubles down and

Lift my soul

I’m goin' to

Pray forgiveness

Let me go

Pray, my children and their children know

Not to do what I have done

But let go

Lay these troubles down

Lift my soul

Lift my soul

Lift my soul up and over the river

That old rogue river

Lift up and over the river

That old road river
