I went down to the river
To see what life was all about
That river was a swollen belly
From last night's storm
Cry on me,
Cry on me
Sad sky, won't you cry on me
And take away these blues
Ya see that bottle sittin' over there
It's got my hand a-reachin'
It took a hold of my pain
And now a hold on me
Cry on me,
Cry on me,
Sad sky, won't you cry on me
And flood me too
It might be tears of joy
And it might be tears of pain
So send 'em on down now
Let 'em fall on me
Heaven above
Sweet Jesus above
Won't you have some mercy on me
And cry on me,
Cry on me,
Sad, sweet sky won't you cry o nme
And take away these blues,
Flood me too,
Won't you take away these blues
