So I run to the river, it was bleedin'
I run to the sea, it was bleedin'
I run to the sea, it was bleedin
So I run to the river, it was boilin'
I run to the sea, it was boilin'
So I run to the lord, please hide me lord
Don't you see me prayin'?
Don't you see me down here prayin'?
But the lord said, go to the devil
The lord said, go to the devil
He said, go to the devil
All along dem day
So I ran to the devil, he was waitin
I ran to the devil, he was waitin'
Ran to the devil, he was waitin'
All on that day
