Down by the river
I'll be soothing my soul
And digging my grave in this goddamn hole
Oh, this God damn hole
Please call my mother
Send my warm regards
Kiss me, my lover
My last goodbyes

Oh, my last goodbyes
Deep into the night
'Tis my last goodbye
Stray away from light

They laid down my body
And they laid it down low
I rest here forsaken in this bloody hole
Oh, this goddamn hole
Away from the living
All those I have let down
My heart is still beating this funeral drum

Oh, this funeral drum
Far away from the Sun
The countdown has begun
Beat my funeral drum, oh
