Red Banks

Walking down by the river
 He'd take me there by the hand
 We'd watch that sunset on that river
 Just me and my man
 Yeah, just me and my man
 Walking down by the river
 He asked me where I been
 He said if I go with another,
 He gon' push me in
 Yeah, he gon' push me in
 Walking down by the red bank
 I found a skipping stone
 Well, I took aim, I closed my eyes,
 And I prayed that stone was gone
 Yeah, I prayed that stone was gone
 I thought about trying to hide,
 I thought about running away
 I thought about digging six feet deep
 Down in the mississippi clay
 Well, he made a hole in the river
 He weighed that water down
 He made a hole in the river
 No, he didn't make no sound
 No, he didn't make no sound
 No, he didn't make no sound
 Now I walk that river bridge,
 That river bridge so tall
 And I count all the sunsets,
 And I saw him fall
 Oh, I saw him fall
 Well, he made a hole in the river
 He weighed that. water down
 He made a hole in the river,
 No, he didn't make no sound
 I didn't push him in,
 No, I didn't push him in
 Oh, I didn't push him in,
 No, he'd 'a killed me if I did.
