Headin' down to the river meet a friend of mine
Says he's got something, something on his mind
It ain't good, it ain't good

He said "Have you been with my little sister again?
I told you once before that'd be the last thing that you did
That ain't good, that ain't good"

Well I've got some secrets, some I'd never tell
But I've got this low-down feeling they're gonna send me straight to hell
Maybe so, maybe so

I've had some problems, some I've never fixed
But that night down at the river, well I marked that off my list
Had a gun too, I had a gun too

You see the funny thing about killin' a man: it's not as hard as it seems
It just takes a little practice, just ask someone like me
I'm on the run, I'm on the run

Well I've got some secrets, some I'd never tell
But I've got this little low-down feeling they're gonna send me straight to hell
Maybe soon, oh down below
Maybe soon, I'd like to see you come and try
