dedicated to the greatest masters:

Robert Plant, Creedence Clearwater Revival and INXS

(with my endless love for Alison Krauss and Alison Goldfrapp)

that rich woman, she got the keys to the town

that rich woman, she gonna tear the whole world down

she don't say nothin', just lays her money down

that rich woman, from the other side of town

my poor heart, it ain't got nowhere to hide

my poor heart, been beaten down and dried

she looks right through me with those icy, cool eyes

my poor heart, it's a foolish prize

oh, roll on, deep river, roll

oh, roll on, deep river, roll

she pulls the strings and I lose my soul

oh, roll on, deep river, roll

that slow burn, like a fire in the night

that slow burn, ain't nothin' but a dim blue light

she calls the tune, and I must play it right

that slow burn, 'til the morning light

oh, roll on, deep river, roll

oh, roll on, deep river, roll

she pulls the strings and I lose my soul

oh, roll on, deep river, roll

moon don't shine where she walks

the river don't talk where she talks

just a whisper, a shadow on the wall...

i'd answer her call, I'd answer her call
