Riley |
| Riley oh Riley, lend me your hand |
| Walk with me softly to the promise land |
| Well I love you Riley but you gotta understand |
| It’s so damn painful to love a dishonest man |
| I ride all morning and I ride all day |
| Just to catch you, Riley, in your other woman’s place |
| And I climb the porch steps, knock three times and back away |
| When the one who answers stares deep into my face |
| Her hair is auburn, skin gold from the sun |
| She stands in the doorway and she calls your name to come |
| And I wait like the reaper in my cloak of black |
| She whispers beggin' «Please don’t make him go back» |
| Riley oh Riley, what could make love stay? |
| You can’t look at me but you can turn away |
| No you can |
| Riley oh Riley, on my journey home |
| I cried a river and soaked you to the bone |
| Riley oh Riley, my tears flood the town |
| And you and I and your girl, all together we did drown |
| Riley oh Riley, lend me your hand |
| Walk with me softly through the promise land |
