lyrics

Momma told me what to do
Papa he tried to tell me too
But I wouldn’t listen to no one
Cause I’m stubborn as a mule
My brother he tried to set me straight
If you go down that road it will be to late

Whisky bottles everywhere
Grass is greener everywhere but here
Live my life with no care
I’m wasted and I'm barely here
Won’t you take me down to the river
And wash away this pain
But times are changing nothing ever stays the same

Sister won’t you say a prayer for me?
For here I am on a wounded knee
Sometimes I feel like there’s no way out
Times are changing, that’s what I’m talking about

Whisky bottles everywhere
Grass is greener everywhere but here
Live my life with no care
I’m wasted and I'm barely here
Won’t you take me down to the river
And wash away this pain
But times are changing nothing ever stays the same

Mama, won’t you let come on home?
My prison walls won’t let me roam
Chose my path now I gotta be true
Hangman is waiting with the noose

Take me to the river and wash away this pain
Won’t you take me to the river, never gonna be the same
Whoa take me to the river, wash away my pain
Take me to the river….

The Ian Black Band image

The Ian Black Band Brewer, Maine

Formed in 2012 with a purpose to write, compose, and arrange good music.

Ian Black hails from the western shores of the North Sea who came to America in the early 70s. A self-taught musician, Ian inspired the founding members of the band and later adopted all of them into his family. We are all hoping that he leaves us something of worth, other than the music, after he departs this world. ... more
