Little Blue River/In the Garden Lyrics
Roll me over the little blue river Church child Roll me over the little blue river Now church child
Silence and dumb tongues It's a different kind of ghetto Carry the weight (it's heavy) Of a disreputed fellow
Roll me over the little blue river Church child Roll me over the little blue river Now church child
Every step that you've been taking Is straying a little further south As for me I am so tired of living (babe) So hand-to-mouth
Roll me over the little blue river Church child Roll me over the little blue river Now church child
Hey you wanna steady that cue card Make it a billboard today Everybody's saying they want their money back Ah well baby just roll me away
Out of the mouth of them babies How they can talk Best be saving your pennies Put 'em back for a very long walk Roll me over the little blue river Now church child Roll me
