Rain, oh rain, are you here to stay?Why, oh why won't you blow away?Cause I ain't seen one sunny day on the river of painI've been rollin' downhill and I can't come backSo far gone as a matter of factLike a runaway train on a one-way trackTo the river of painThe river of pain, cold and meanRunnin' like the devil to the deep blue seaBlack as the night, cursed by the rainBorn out drownin' in the river of painI treated my heart like a steppin' stoneThrew it in the water, how was I to knowThat I'd be sinkin' here all aloneInto the river of painThe river of pain, cold and meanRunnin' like the devil to the deep blue seaBlack as the night, cursed by the rainBorn out drownin' in the river of painOh, the river of pain, let me beThat deep muddy water's gonna bury meThe river of pain, cold and meanRunnin' like the devil to the deep blue seaBlack as the night, cursed by the rainBorn out drownin' in the river of painOh, to the river of pain
