lyrics

All the girls and boys play around the black river
No one expected a thing
Till late one night that river jumped out
Took the sherifs’ only son

The towns people searched long and they searched hard
Only coming up with a boot
Still the sherif sits on his porch every night
Waiting for the boy to return

River, the black river
Takes your children away
River, the black river
Stay away from the water that takes you away

10 years have passed since the boy was lost
All but one's forgotten the tail
She goes into the woods by herself
To find the lost boy

Her eyes meet with the beast of the black river
She pulls out her sword and stabs that beast before her
The lost boy drops to his knees and looks up at her
she holds him close until he dies in her arms

River, the black river
Takes your children away
River, the black river
Stay away from the water that takes you away
Stay away from the water that takes you away
