Ain't no river
In this devils heat
Can cool this holy land
And the seasons
Try to change me
Do what my bible says
Forgivers, they blame me
For things i wished i had
Say the blessed are
The poor and the meek
Do what my bible says
When l I heard of gold
I hit the road
I took you by the hand
Say when
Say when
Say when
Well the winter
Wasn't easy
Young baby in your hand
Like her mother
She reminded me
Do what my bible says
A believer in a time of need
Lambs to the lions den
In my fever
She's a cool breeze
Do what my bible says
Well the weight of gold
Sure takes it's toll
And bend my aching hands
And the truth be told
God rest your soul
I promised we'd go back
Just say when
Say when
Say when
When the spring came
She was weakening
She took her final breath
And I laid her there
By the cypress tree
Do what my bible says
Well the weight of gold
Sure takes it's toll
And bend my aching hands
And the truth be told
God rest your soul
I promised we'd go back
Just say when
Say when
Amen
Say when
Say when
Amen
