Little Blue River/In The Garden

words and music: Karin Bergquist/

In The Garden: C. Austin Miles

recording: Films For Radio

roll me over the little blue river

church child

roll me over the little blue river

now church child

silence and dumb tongues

it's a different kind of ghetto

carry the weight

(it's heavy)

of a disreputed fellow

roll me over the little blue river

church child

roll me over the little blue river

now church child

every step that you've been taking

is straying a little further south

as for me I am so tired of living (babe)

so hand-to-mouth

roll me over the little blue river

church child

roll me over the little blue river

now church child

hey you wanna steady that cue card

make it a billboard today

everybody's saying they want their money back

ah well baby just roll me away

out of the mouth of them babies

how they can talk

best be saving your pennies

put 'em back for a very long walk

roll me over the little blue river

now church child

roll me
