A Shoot me down, put my body in the river

While the whole world sings, sing it like a song

The whole world sings like there's nothing going wrong
He shot her down, he put her body in the river He covered her up but I went to get her And I said, "My girl, what happened to you now?" I said, "My girl, we gotta stop it somehow"

Dm
Gonna do for a world that's so sick and sad? A
Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand

Dm Gonna do for a world that's so gone mad?
He's gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river Cover me up with the leaves of September Like an old sad song, you heard it all before Well, Delia's gone but I'm settling the score
Oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand Gonna do for a world that's just dying slow? Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand Gonna do for his daughter when it's her turn to go?
