Lyrics
There’s a body in the river Ain’t nobdy sayin’ who Folks ‘round here just don’t consider Yankees, cowards, whores or fools Water’s been rising, for a week now, Rain keeps coming, every day Bridges out of town are shut down, Half the farm has, washed away A Bm Open up the back door, pack up the Ford And keep one eye on the dam There’s a body in the river…… Half the town’s sandbaggin’ levees, Other half’s too poor to care Preacher screeching ‘bout the deluge, Sheriff’s got a drunken stare Since the mines shut, the men get high too much And the women won’t complain
