Mary Heather Hickman feat. Stefanie Joyce - Ouachita River

[Intro] There's a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River [Verse 1] Jack Williams worked a ferry on the Ouachita River line For 5.65 an hour, he hauled them people side to side Our love was a rush like a flood in the spring Our love was enough 'til the bridge came [Verse 2] Jack Williams took to drinking and givin' me black eyes Around that time I reckoned Jack wasn't quite my type I could've called the law I could've up and left But I took some rope and a bag of stones And I tied him up instеad [Chorus] Run, river, run Cover up what I've donе Carry away what's left of that sinner There's secrets in the Arkansas sand Mud on my boots and blood on my hands And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River [Verse 3] Spring turned into summer And Jack was never found I guess the Bradley County Sheriff didn't miss havin' him around Now I walk across that bridge With a big smile on my face And I throw some yellow roses on Jack Williams' grave [Chorus] Run, river, run Cover up what I've done Carry away what's left of that sinner There's secrets in the Arkansas sand Mud on my boots and blood on my hands And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River [Bridge] That bridge did him in in more ways than one Ten feet of muddy water 'tween Jack and the sun That bridge did him in in more ways than one Ten feet of muddy water 'tween Jack and the sun [Chorus] Run, river, run Cover up what I've done Carry away what's left of that sinner There's secrets in the Arkansas sand Mud on my boots and blood on my hands And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River [Post-Chorus] There's a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
