Hill Country Baby

[Verse 1]
Hill country baby won't you please come save me
'Cause I think I might be runnin' out of time
And I can't seem to tell if it's heaven or it's hell
That's waitin' at the end of the line

'Cause if the rain keeps pouring and the cane starts floodin' I'll be whispering my last goodbye
I fear I'm a goner, I'll be washed by the water
If I never see those big green eyes

[Verse 2]
My hill country baby told me that she couldn't save me
Even if she really did try
Said if you really want savin' thеn you better get to prayin'
That thе good lord is on your side

Well the water was rushing in, the rain kept a-coming
So hard that I couldn't even see
Last thing I remember was the roar of the river
Then I heard a voice a-callin' out to me

[Bridge]
He said son don't you know that you're not alone
Won't you come on and let that old river just take you on home
He said son don't you know that you're not alone
Won't you come on and let that old river just take you on home

[Chorus]
I said rise old river won't you take me on home now
Rise old river from your sleep
Rise old river 'cause I really gotta know
River have mercy on me

I said rise old river won't you take me on home now
Rise old river from your sleep
Rise old river 'cause I really gotta know
River have mercy on me

I said rise old river won't you take me on home now
Rise old river from your sleep
Rise old river 'cause I really gotta know-oh
River have mercy on me

I said rise old river won't you take to the river
Oh my river won't you rise from your sleep
I said rise old river won't you rise old river
Won't you
Rise old river won't you
Rise!

Owww!

[Verse 1]
Hill country baby won't you please come save me
'Cause I think I might be runnin' out of time
And I can't seem to tell if it's heaven or it's hell
That's waitin' at the end of the line

'Cause if the rain keeps pouring and the cane starts floodin' I'll be whispering my last goodbye
I fear I'm a goner, I'll be washed by the water
If I never see those big green eyes
