| Please tell me crimson river | |
| Is there a place where I | |
| Should search your troubled waters | |
| Please don't lie | |
| It's been raining for three days | |
| And the waters are now high | |
| I can't find no crossing | |
| I'm afraid I'll drown tonight | |
| Wicked river, you don't care | |
| You just follow your own course | |
| While I weep upon your shore | |
| You show me no remorse | |
| While the spirits that you took are frowning | |
| For me, it seems | |
| All waters have the color of drowning | |
| Evenings when I used to get back | |
| Home again | |
| I'd meet my love in this boat | |
| On your wave | |
| And damned be the moment | |
| When my ring went down below | |
| Then he smiled and said | |
| "I'll get it back for you" | |
| Now I wish that every river | |
| Would just stop its flow | |
| But I fear that this waters | |
| Just won't let us go | |
| Not now, not tomorrow, not until | |
| We're all down there below |
