Hang me down, 
by the river bed, 
with the other dead,
I will sing, mourn me down. 
Hang me down, 
by the river bed, 
with the other dead,
I will die without a sound. 

Save me, Save me, Save, oh lord, 
Save me, Save me, again.

Hang me down, 
by the river bed, 
with the other dead,
I will die without a sound. 
Hang me down, 
by the river bed, 
with the other dead,
I will sing, mourn me down. 

Save me, Save me, Save, oh lord, 
Save me, Save me, again.

Sometimes they say it's the faith that saves us all
Sometimes they say it's the day that changes us
Sometimes they... they never really say

Hang me down
By the river bed
With the other dead
I will sing the whole way down
