River Ran Dry - Rev. Horton Heat

Lord will you tell me why the river ran dry

Please Lord tell me won’t you just say why

Used to catch catfish right over there

Right over there 'fore the river ran bare

Won’t you tell me why

Luck is not my friend

Went to church sometimes

Tried hard not to sin

Lord will you tell me why the river ran dry

Please Lord tell me won’t you just say why

Lord won’t you tell me why my baby had to go

Please Lord tell me won’t you let me know

Used to say she loved me every night and everyday

Why’d she have to pack it up and move away

Won’t you tell me why

She just got annoyed

I had to quit my job

Temporarily unemployed

Lord won’t you tell me why my baby had to go

Please Lord tell me won’t you let me know

Lord will you tell me why the river ran dry

Please Lord tell me won’t you just say why

Used to catch catfish right over there

Right over there 'fore the river ran bare

Won’t you tell me why

Luck is not my friend

Went to church sometimes

Tried hard not to sin

Lord will you tell me why the river ran dry

Please Lord tell me won’t you just say why
