Shannon and the Clams - In the River

Текст песни

I told my baby, «Don't you get lost»
She fell in the river and now she’s gone
I miss her badly, I loved her so
I need some magic to bring her home
Now she’s gone I miss her so
Can’t see where that river goes
I saw the witch man, I cried and moaned
He said, «Boy, magic is what I know
Swallow this spider, eat this shell of black
Against the current, she’ll float right back»
Now she’s gone I miss her so
Can’t see where that river goes
A year went by, I watched the banks
Then up the river one day she came
A giant eggshell, I looked inside
My baby lay there with a feathered hide
Now she’s gone I miss her so
Can’t see where that river goes
