Up The River - Laura Veirs[00:00:00]
Billy was a young man gone astray[00:00:31]
Bottle at his lips some night day[00:00:37]
Mama said they're gonna[00:00:43]
Send you up the river someday[00:00:44]
Mama said they're gonna[00:00:49]
Send you up the river someday[00:00:50]
Whiskey ate big holes in Billy's head[00:00:56]
Summer's day he shot spud Murphy dead[00:01:02]
He said I'm headed up the river[00:01:08]
As he watched the blood pour red[00:01:10]
Yeah as he watched the blood pour red[00:01:14]
Mama asked Lord Jesus what to do[00:01:44]
At the door came knocking boys in blue[00:01:50]
We're gonna send him up the river[00:01:55]
And make him pay his dues ma'am[00:01:58]
We're gonna send him up the river[00:02:01]
And make him pay his dues[00:02:03]
And so she watched him[00:02:08]
Round that river bend[00:02:09]
Go billy felt a chill pass 'cross him[00:02:12]
Cold they sent him up the river[00:02:17]
To turn a young man old[00:02:22]
Yeah sent him up the river[00:02:26]
To turn a young man old[00:02:28]
