Eric Burdon - River Is Rising lyrics

And darkness was upon the face of the deep And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water Oh lord, please don't put a cross upon my door And the river Is rising Chorus: The river The river is rising The river The river is rising Carry me away to another world The swamp cooler decided to die He mumped his head Opened his eyes Is that my baby grand beginning to rise? Carry me away to another world Every day around 4 o'clock King Antoine enjoyed his nap The TV would awaken him But today, the TV was dead Chorus Raise to the roof and to the night sky The King thought Lord, is this the time I'm gonna die? Is this the day I'm gonna die? The river is rising Chorus He was nailed to the piano
