Well, the river runs deep and the water is cold as ice
The river runs deep and the water is cold as ice
I go down there every chance I get
It´s where my baby she met her death

And the river runs deep and the water´s cold as ice

Ain´t no woman gonna make a fool out of me
Ain´t no woman gonna make a fool out of me
Running ´round, that´s what they said
She´s at the bottom of the river dead
And the river runs deep and the water´s cold as ice

No cheating woman gonna get a good man down
No cheating woman gonna get a good man down
Running ´round like a silly fool
You´re gonna end up at the bottom of the pool
And the river runs deep and the water´s cold as ice
