Crank Like A River lyrics

Well, he was kneely-eyed

When he returned to the town he'd come from

He's brown bagging it tonight behind some tavern

Somebody wrecked his life, and I'll bet you it was his darling

Somebody wrecked his life, and I'll bet you it was his darling

So he drank like a river when their wedding bells rang

Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang

Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands

Same hands that had once touched her face

Well, he was kneely-eyed

When he returned to the town he'd come from

He's hanging out drinking beer with his brother-in-law

He was a drinker at night, and in the morning he was unnerving

He was a drinker full time, the day that he lost his darling

So he drank like a river when their wedding bells rang

Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang

Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands

Same hands that had once touched her face
