I look at the sky

Gone through St Louis

And I hear the winter will cut you quick

If tears were liquor Id have drunk myself sick

Here I am earthly bound

Said Hallelujah Im going down

And the river Jordan is deep and wide

Over the old bent cherry trees

Shivering in a row

These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
