Gonna take my body down
Right down, down, down to the river
Gonna take my body down-ow-ow- own
Let the wa-a- a-ter carry me away, just float away
Oh, oh, 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, oh, oh) Carry me away, I 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
