Ode To Ol' John Doe Lyrics

The river is wide

When the tide is high

Harboring you

Innocence hides

The devil inside

Deep in you

From the sea

Through the reeds

Creatures take you

Piece by piece

And there he lays

Just under the waves

Through and through

The river she cries

And the willow replied

Don't weep for him

Now the hour is late

The witch will awake

To stir her brew

Mosquitos are rife

Eat you alive

Prick by prick

They stuck you dry

A lone violin

For the killer within

Cries for you

The amber it bleeds

Down from the trees

In a silent hue

Above in the sky

The all-seeing eye

Glares down at you

Only heaven knows

What in hell bellows

And it pulls you down

Bone by bone

And there you'll stay

In a fiery grave

Sealed in doom
