DRAGGING THE RIVER (Richard Thompson) You thought that you were smart, little tart When you threw me over for Shorty McKay You thought that I would take it like a white man And squeeze your hand as we said goodbye Now the Police are out there dragging the river Looking for a body, five foot two There've been complaints about the drinking water So they're dragging the river for you I spent a fortune keeping you quiet And you found a nice way of paying me back Now how does the future look without me From the inside of a sack? Now the Police are out there dragging the river Looking for a bone in an Irish stew God help the worms and God help the fishies They're dragging the river for you All my life I've been a coward You know I never had the nerve to fend for myself Killing you was the best thing I ever did You worked wonders for my mental health Now the Police are out there dragging the river Looking for a body, five foot two Now the divers are down and the beaters are out They're dragging the river for you ----------------------------------------------------------------- performed by Richard Thompson live in Durham 1972, but never officially recorded. copyright Warlock Music @murder @love @humor filename[ DRAGRIVR MJ |
