It was a blinding light 
A sheer tornado of pain 
I had a whiskey fury 
Pounding like the devils rain 
Down by the river 
It's alright 
I've been turning stones 
Down by the river 
It's alright 
Someone's been catching a rabbit 
About midnight 
Up on a mountain side 
I was touching heaven 
I was a servant boy 
But I was just a killer 
Down by the river 
I've been turning stones 
Down by the river 
It's alright 
Someone's been catching a rabbit 
About midnight 
We don't take no prisoners here 
Down by the river 
Ain't no mystery here 
Mystery in this world of mine 
Hold on baby 
Hold on to this night
