lyrics

Take me down to the river,
Bury me under the water,
Lay me down on that stony ground,
Deep under the water.

Leave my bones to the river,
To wash away my sins,
Say a few kind words by the waters edge,
Down by the river.

I was not a saint, but I was not a bad man,
Neither was I lost, nor did I have a grand plan,
I was just a plain ordinary man.

Tell my story to the river,
Watch them words as they wash away
Leave a sweet smile as a lullaby,
Down by that river.

I was never rich, but I was not a poor man,
Neither was I bound, nor did I have a free hand,
I was just a plain ordinary man.

Take my memories to the river,
But hold them close to your heart,
For when you leave then I'll be forgot
Down in that river.

I was not a saint, but I was not a bad man,
Neither was I lost, nor did I have a grand plan,
I was just a plain ordinary man.

I was never rich, but I was not a poor man,
Neither was I bound, nor did I have a free hand,
I was just a plain ordinary man,
I was just a plain ordinary man.

about

Jack Cade and the Everyday Sinners UK

Jack Cade plays a mix of Americana and Alt-Country usually as a solo performer but at times with The Everyday Sinners. His vocals are a rough and ready deep growl, delivered with simply crafted songs about love, loss and the bits in between.
