Make Your Bed

Make your bed the river young girl
Make your bed the river young girl
La la la la la la:
Make your bed the river young girlDid you come here to meet him my dear
You're surprised to find only me
Well I put him to rest at the bend in the river
And the same I require of youI'm thick with disease in my madness
Only one thought pacifies me
That the murky black water grounds your bones to sand
When the catfish have stripped off your hideMake 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 girlSo go down as his trembling bride
For too frail are fury inside
And if there's a chance the Lord recognizes you
Pray he has more mercy than IMake 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 girlMake your bed the river young girl
