Merigold Lyrics by Gabe Lee

Drink The River

2023

[Verse 1]
It's cold in Mississippi, longest day of the year
The geese cry in the wind
As I wade into the delta, a shotgun in my hand
Knowin' I'll never see you again
Her cancer gave no warnin', dug its roots into her ground
Wild as the kudzu on the highways of the South
Barely time to dream of better days to get 'er by
She was gone in the blink of an eye

[Chorus]
Time to time, we all lose somethin'
But it ain't worth nothin' to me like this, all broken
Lord, if you can hear me, I swear to leavе you alone
But please pick up thе phone, I want you to know
That you can take me when she goes, Merigold
Merigold

[Verse 2]
Last spring, you cleaned out the cast iron, you hung it up
I been hungry ever since
Nothin' fills me up no more, and drinkin' sucks
It carves me up, just thinkin' 'bout it
Wish I could take you drivin', we'd roll into town
See the Christmas lights up on the square
Watchin' the sun go down, settin' fire to the air
No honey, we ain't gotta go anywhere

[Chorus]
Time to time, we all lose somethin'
But it ain't worth nothin' to me like this, all broken
Lord, if you can hear me, I swear to leave you alone
But please pick up the phone, I want you to know
You can take me when she goes, Merigold

[Outro]
Merigold
Merigold
Merigold
