Washtenaw River Lyrics by Puerto Muerto

2003

[Verse 1]
Lori, I'm writing to tell you
'cause I think it's your own right to know
Mama's been crying for hours
On account of your failure to show
But Earl still won't get out of bed
I can't blame him, the shape that he's hit
And Lucy still sits by the window
Hoping your old Chevy pulls in
[Chorus]
Washtenaw river
Keep on flowing
Bring me my Lori
Home to me
[Verse 3]
Well the preacher came by just this morning
And he asked how we're getting along
I told him to come by for dinner
'cause we're expecting our Lori to call
Well the preacher got red-faced and nervous
As he tried to еxplain us your fate
How the river, it claimеd you
And that, Lori, had taken you up to a much higher place
Well I've been convinced he's a liar
'cause there ain't anybody to show
So I walked down the banks of that river
And told her to bring my my Lori back home
[Chorus]
Washtenaw river
Keep on flowing
Bring me my Lori
Home to me
[Final Chorus]
Washtenaw river
Keep on flowing
Bring me my Lori
Home, to me
[Final verse]
Lori, I'm writing to tell you
'cause I think it's your own right to know
Mama's been crying for hours
On account of your failure to show
But Earl still won't get out of bed
