On the banks of the Piney
My true love is lying
Hes been there since the river took him
Way down low
On the banks of the Piney
My sweet love is lying
He's been there since the river took him down
Oh lord lead me to the delta by the sea
Roll me river set my heartache free
Drown these sins so heaven I may see
That's where my love he waits for me
On the banks of the Piney
My true love is lying
Hes been there since the river took him
Way down low
On the banks of the Piney
My sweet love is lying
He's been there since the river took him down
Oh lord make my bed the bulrush and the reed
Like holy moses gonna shine your grace on me
Drown my sins so heaven I may see
That's where my love, he waits for me
Oh lord lead me to the delta by the sea
And roll me river set my heartache free
Drown these sins so heaven I may see
That's where my love, he waits for me.
On the banks of the Piney
My true love is lying
Hes been there since the river took him
Way down low
On the banks of the Piney
My sweet love is lying
He's been there since the river took him down
