Crooked River

Crooked River - Eilen Jewell

Composed by：Eilen Jewell

I wandered all the way to crooked river

With you burning a hole in my mind

Well I came down here to try to get better

But it just keeps getting harder all the time

When I finally get myself together

I know yes I know it'll be sublime

But until then I'll make my home down by crooked river

And I'll sleep beneath the shade in the pines

Wash my hands wash my sins

Let me shiver in your ruthless wind

Take me down take me in

Oh you crooked river

Well ol' loneliness she's haunted me forever

But I've learned to look her straight in the eye

And when she sneaks up on me down by crooked river

Well she hardly ever even makes me cry

Wash my hands wash my sins

Let me shiver in your ruthless wind

Take me down take me in

Oh you crooked river
