Текст пісні
Lynn is living on the south side of cincinnati
cause it's hard to keep a secret in a small kentucky town
She misses her mama and adores her dying daddy
now she's cursing the ohio in a dirty wedding gown
A boy fron seven hills had a slice of sophistication
A german immigrant five generations deep
Old money helped him hide his lack of education
now he's using it to hide the bruises on her cheek
Damn that river
and Damn that man
When they went across the water she never looked back
He bought a big house and a brown cadillac
She learned how to cook and she learned how to sew
She learned to take a punch so no one would ever know
Damn that river
and Damn that man
Later one night after he had had his way
she let him fall asleep and got on her kness to pray
Dear God forgive me for what I'm about to do
I'm sending him to Hell now the rest is up to you
Damn that river
and Damn that man
She cracked him on the head
and cracked him on the chin
He was dead before the hammer ever hit the firing pin
