Blood on the Saddle - Black River Lyrics

There's a girl we once knew
Her eyes are aqua blue
Now there's something wrong these days
Her eyes are tombstone grey
Friends all say to leave you alone
Logic stays at home
Cause the heart that's beating blue
Was left when you go through

Oh, Black river runs so deep
Black river run through my veins
Never gonna ride you again

We walked hand in hand
Thought you were my man
Now there's something wrong these days
His eyes are tombstone grey

Oh, Black river runs so deep
Black River runs through my veins
Never gonna ride you again

And your Father's ghost, see what he's done
He's left his body and possessed his son
I'd tell it to your face; I'd tell it to your face
I'd tell it with a gun, tell it with a gun
After what you've done, love won't come

Uh-oh, Black River that runs so deep
Black River run through my veins
Never gone ride you again

There's a girl who we once knew
Her eyes are icy blue
Now there's something wrong these days
Her eyes are tombstone grey

Uh-huh, Black River run so deep
Black river run through my veins
Never gonna ride you again
