Where the river runs deep
water as cold as ice
the river runs deep
and the water as cold as ice
go down there every chance I get
thats where my baby she met her death
the river runs deep
water as cold as ice
ain't no woman gonna make a fool out of me
ain't no woman gonna make a fool out of me
runnin around thats a what they said
she's at the bottom of a river bed
the river runs deep
water as cold as ice
cheetin woman gonna get a good man down
cheetin woman gonna get a good man down
runnin round like a silly fool
end up at the bottom of the pool
the river runs deep
water as cold as ice
the river runs deep
water as cold as ice
the river runs deep
water as cold as ice
the river runs deep
water as cold as ice
the river runs deep
water as cold as ice
