River Is Rising - Eric Burdon

The river is rising

Carrying me away to another world

The river is rising

The river is rising

The river is rising

Carrying me away to another world

And darkness was upon the face of the deep

And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water

Oh lord, please don’t put a cross upon my door

And the river…

(The river is rising)

…Is rising

(The river is rising)

The river is…

(The river is rising)

Rising

(Carrying me away to another world)

(The river is rising)

…Is rising

(The river is rising)

…Is rising

(The river is rising)

(Carrying me away to another world)

The swamp cooler decided to die

He mumped his head

Opened his eyes

Is that my baby grand beginning to rise?

Carrying me away to another world

Every day around 4 o’clock

King Antoine enjoyed his nap

The TV would awaken him

But today, the TV was dead

The river…(The river is rising)

The river is rising

(The river is rising)

The river…(The river is rising)

(Carrying me away to another world)

Raise to the roof and to the night sky

The King thought Lord, is this the time I’m gonna die?

Is this the day I’m gonna die?

The river is rising

(The river is rising)

The river is rising

(The river is rising)

He was nailed to the piano
