I've got something that my baby wants
And I've got something that my baby wants
And she's got something that I want too
Baby and I are through

I've been down to the bottom
With a bad, bad man
Down to the bottom babe
With a bad, bad man

Lay me down with your gentle hand

Well he said this darkness, it was [bad word] 
And first he said this darkness, darlin',
It was [bad word] 
And that there was no light to be found in you

But I know, darlin', that that's not [bad word] 

And I had a dream so black
That I could not tell
Oh, honey, I had a dream so dark
That I could not tell

But I know that's just as well

And I don't know, babe,
Just where you've been
I don't know, darlin',
Just where you've been

But I've hung myself heavy here
Babe, I don't know where the [bad word] I am

I thought that man, babe,
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin',
He might have something that I need

But he had no anger
For you or for me
And, babe, I swear
That man never even knew I was here

Some of these friends of mine
How I miss them so
Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
How I miss them so

But some of these, others beg
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange
And deathly roads

Take me down to your river
I want to see how [bad word] 
Down to your river, darlin',
I want to know just how [bad word] 

But if that man
Waits on the path
Then I know for good
That I'm done

And I got a feeling
That man, he's just begun
