lyrics

I took that girl to the South Fourche River
led her on out of Danville town.
A dram of poison in her glass I did give her
and I watched her body float on down.
Float away, my lovely bride
drifing on that river wide.
Float away, down to the sea
for this awful thing you done to me.
I lost my leg in march of sixty four
a bullet from a damn yankee.
and then I found you married to that man
a big plantation owner's son.
When I'm done with you I'm gonna get him if I can
ride him down if he cuts and runs.
I took that girl to the South Fourche River
led her on out of Danville town.
A dram of poison in her glass I did give her
and I watched her body float on down.
Float away, my lovely bride
drifing on that river wide.
Float away, down to the sea
for this awful thing you done to me.
