Align:    
  • Billy was a young man gone astray bottle at his lips all night
  • And day mama said they're gonna send you up the river someday
  • Whiskey ate big holes in billy's head summer's day he shot spud murphy dead
  • He said i'm headed up the river as he watched the blood pour red
  • Mama asked lord jesus what to do at the door came knocking boys in blue
  • We're gonna send him up the river and make him pay his dues ma'am
  • And so she watched him round that riverbend go billy felt a chill pass 'cross him
  • Cold they sent him up the river to turn a young man old
