[4/4, mod. speed w/heavy bass]
THE DEAD SWEETHEARTS POLKA
--J. Wrabek
CHORUS:
The river is wide, and the river looks lonely;
The river’s got secrets that she’s gonna keep;
She’s got the body of my one true and only,
Down on the bottom where the water runs deep.
1.
I held her in my arms, going down to the river,
Whispering softly that I’d miss her so;
Down to the bank, where she’d leave me forever,
Down underwater where the dead sweethearts go.
CHORUS:
The river is wide, and the river looks lonely;
The river’s got secrets that she’s gonna keep;
She’s got the body of my one true and only,
Down on the bottom where the water runs deep.
2.
I told her I knew she couldn’t live without me,
And I watched her struggle, ‘fore I let her go;
Dressed in a nightgown, she’s gonna sleep forever
With the other dead sweethearts in the darkness below.
CHORUS:
The river is wide, and the river looks lonely;
The river’s got secrets that she’s gonna keep;
She’s got the body of my one true and only,
Down on the bottom where the water runs deep.
[GRATUITOUS INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
3.
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been so lonely,
Looking for some new company to keep;
Come stay with me and be my one true and only,
Down by the river where the water runs deep.
CHORUS:
The river is wide, and the river looks lonely;
The river’s got secrets that she’s gonna keep;
She’s got the body of my one true and only,
Down on the bottom where the water runs deep.
REPEAT SHORUS TO END
