Make your bed

Make your bed the river young girl
Make your bed the river young girl
La la la la
La la la
La la la
Make your bed the river young girl

Did you come here to meet him my dear?
You surprised to find only me?
Well I put him to rest
At the bend in the river
And the same I'll require of thee

I'm thick with disease in my madness
Only one thought pacifies me
That the murky black water
Grinds your bones into sand
When the catfish have stripped off your hide

Make your bed the river young girl
Make your bed the river young girl
I know you can't swim
But I'll tuck you in
Make your bed the river young girl So go down as his trembling bride
For to quell all this fury inside me
And if there's a chance
That the Lord recognize you
Pray he has more mercy than I

Make your bed the river young girl
Make your bed the river young girl
I know you can't swim
But I'll tuck you in
Make your bed the river young girl
Make your bed the river young girl
