I'm going down the river of sadness
D
I'm going down the river of pain
Em
in the dark, under the wires
G Em G Em
I hear them call my name
Em
I gave you the key to the highway
D
and the key to my motel door
Em
and I'm tired of leaving and leaving
G Em G Em
I can't come back no more
Em
Oh, my dark-eyed friend
D
I'm recalling you again
Em
soft voices that speak nothing
G Em G Em
speak nothing to the end

Em
Oh, Mother of Earth, the blind they call
D
but yet stay behind the wall
Em
their sadness grows like weeds
G Em G Em
upon my thighs and knees
Em
Oh, Mother of Earth, the wind is hot
D
I tried my best, but I could not
Em
and my eyes fade from me
G Em G Em
in this open country
