= 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
= Interlude 1:20 - 1:33 =
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

= 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 =
