Dig Me A River Lyrics
by Gemma Ray
Lord knows they tried to dig me a river
And they tried to etch out a stream
But the veins of my arm runs deeper
than those preachers could ever dream
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e83960-gemma_ray~dig_me_a_river_lyrics.html ]
And they tried to build me a mountain
With the earth they dug up and cast aside
And they tried to put a flag upon my head
Its funny they even tried
God knows they tried to dig me a river
