river runs deep

Eric Clapton

Well, the river runs deep and the water is cold as ice
The river runs deep and the water is cold as ice
I go down there every chance I get
It s where my baby she met her death
And the river runs deep and the water s cold as ice

Ain t no woman gonna make a fool out of me
Ain t no woman gonna make a fool out of me
Running round, that s what they said
She s at the bottom of the river dead

And the river runs deep and the water s cold as ice

No cheating woman gonna get a good man down
No cheating woman gonna get a good man down
Running round like a silly fool
You re gonna end up at the bottom of the pool
And the river runs deep and the water s cold as ice
