Gemma Ray - Dig Me a River lyrics

rate me

Lord knows they tried to dig me a river

And they tried to etch out a stream

But the veins of my arm runs deeper

than those preachers could ever dream

And they tried to build me a mountain

With the earth they dug up and cast aside

And they tried to put a flag upon my head

It’s funny they even tried

God knows they tried to dig me a river
