I drowned my baby last night 
Around 5AM 
Well she used and abused me 
And there’s only so much that a man can take 
We met on a bridge that lead to a hook 
And that’s where she’d give her last look 
She’d asked me [bad word] 
So that she could say good bye to her and I 
Another time 

Well my love and time was wasted 
And my body’s breaking 
This is gonna take a whole lot of love out of me 

So what happened next 
I’m not really sure 
But lord I feel like all my sickness is cured 
The Hudson looked me right in the eye and said son it’s time 
It’s time 
Take her down to the river 

Well my love and time was wasted 
And my body’s breaking 
This is gonna take a whole lot of love out of me
