Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Well, they found her yesterday on the bank of the river
Lying face down, they said it's been a couple of days
Just the thought of what must have happened there makes me shiver
Nobody won't listen, I was two hundred miles away
[Verse 2]
I don't understand how someone could be so malice
What they've taken from me I never can replace
Well, she was my world, my little house was her palace
Nobody won't listen, and I won't run away
[Chorus]
So come on and take me, I got nothing left to live for
I'm in a one-room shack, floating way back in the black water
And what they say about me hurts more than they will ever know
So come on and take me, come on and take me
I've gone far as any man can go
[Interlude]
Control 1, this is Unit 3 Delta, we're going in
That's a copy, Delta. Be careful
[Verse 3]
Well, there's hundreds of miles of swamp water here to travel
And there's nothing but nothing, far as the eye can see
What they put on me was more than any man can handle
And you'll be the man with blood on his hands if you're coming in to take me
[Chorus]
So come on and take me, I have nothing to live for
I'm in a one-room shack, I got nothing to live for
Come on and take me, I've gone far as I can go
Come on and take me
