= Verse 0:32 - 0:54 =

It's been thirty-one years

Since she's been in your arms

But don't worry about Mama

Mama's got a good heart

And I'm not looking for your love

I'm only sniffing out blood

Just a little taste of

  where I came from

= Chorus 0:54 - 1:20 =

  And at the bottom of this river

  Is where I put you down to lay

  So I can live with it

  And in my heart heart heart

  there are these waters

  Where I put you down to lay

  While I learn to live with it

  Until I'm free

While lead plays main riff

= Verse 1:33 - 1:55 =

And it's been all my life

I've been wondering on the inside

What we could've had

If you'd had a part in my life

And there were children involved

And they were brothers to me

Even if we

  never got to meet

= Chorus 1:55 - 2:20 =

  And at the bottom of this river

  Is where I put you down to lay

  So I can live with it

  And in my heart heart heart

  there are these waters

  Where I put you down to lay

  While I learn to live with it

= Bridge 2:20 - 2:48 =

  Until I'm free at last

  from this shadow that hangs

  Surely you wonder sometimes

  And I'm sure you all sympathize

  Just what a man's to become,

  just like his daddy's done

  I just want to love someone

  Who has the same blood

Who has the same blood

= Interlude II 2:48 - 2:59 =

= Chorus 2:59 - 3:24 =

  And at the bottom of this river

  Is where I put you down to lay

  So I can live with it

  And in my heart heart heart

  there are these waters

  Where I put you down to lay

  While I learn to live with it

= Outro 3:24 - 4:04 =
