Lyrics
There's a place - down by the river - where the water runs deep and slow - it's a place - you good people - aught not to go.
I went down to the river - I was looking for something more - I fell down to my knees - at what I saw
I saw the devil - drinking whiskey - and dancing on the graves of the bold - whilst Jimi Hendrix led a band of lost souls
There was Janis Joplin and Stevie Ray - old Brownie and Sonny Terry too - and they were singing - and playing - the devil's best blues.
