(Patrick Simmons Tom Johnston)

Down along the river

Where the big bulrushes grow

You find the old frog jumpin the water

He won't come up no more, babe

He won't come up no more, baby

He won't come up no more, woo

He won't come up no more, sugar mama

He won't come up no more

Smell that burnin' fire, baby

Burnin' in the sand

See that devil rise, mama

He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now

He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby

He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo

He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama

He sho' wanna take yo' hand,



Oh, harvest moon

Keep shinin' your light down on me

The Lord reach out his hand

My soul floats out to thee



I don't feel no pain

When they shot me down

Lay my body out, baby

They put me in the ground so cold

They put me in the ground, baby

They put me in the ground, woo

They put me in the ground, sugar mama

They put me in the ground
