Up The River Lyrics - Laura Veirs

Billy was a young man gone astray bottle at his lips all night 

And day mama said they're gonna send you up the river someday 

 

Whiskey ate big holes in billy's head summer's day he shot spud murphy dead 

He said i'm headed up the river as he watched the blood pour red 

 

Mama asked lord jesus what to do at the door came knocking boys in blue 

We're gonna send him up the river and make him pay his dues ma'am 

 

And so she watched him round that riverbend go billy felt a chill pass 'cross him 

Cold they sent him up the river to turn a young man old
