Lyrics Rogue River - Elephant Revival

Rogue River

See her down at the liquor store
Goin' to drink those troubles
And some more
Down at the old rogue river
That old rogue river (x 2)
You were daddy’s sunshine daisy
Left for good, went down to his grave
Mother Mary, full of grace
Won’t you watch these children
In my place
I’m going under the river
That old rogue river (x 2)
Seemed like nothing could be
Said by song (?)
There’s a fire in the little ones, Lord
It burns hot, Lord, and
It burns bright
She leaves an angel, locked in light (?)
Watching over her and sisters too
Mama and papa gone, angels will
Have to do for now
Lord, have mercy in my dying age
There’s been too much
And there’s been too much shame
Left my babies in the cold, now my
Heart is aching 'cause I’ve been
Growing old
Feel is rise up into my throat
Lay these troubles down and
Lift my soul
I’m goin' to
Pray forgiveness
Let me go
Pray, my children and their children know
Not to do what I have done
But let go
Lay these troubles down
Lift my soul
Lift my soul
Lift my soul up and over the river
That old rogue river
Lift up and over the river
That old road river
