And darkness was upon the face of the deep
And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water
Oh lord, please don’t put a cross upon my door
And the river Is rising
Chorus:
The river
The river is rising
The river
The river is rising
Carry me away to another world
The swamp cooler decided to die,
He mumped his head,
Opened his eyes,
Is that my baby grand beginning to rise?
Carry me away to another world

Every day around 4 o’clock
King Antoine enjoyed his nap
The TV would awaken him,
But today, the TV was dead
Chorus
Raise to the roof and to the night sky
The King thought Lord, is this the time I’m gonna die?
Is this the day I’m gonna die?
The river is rising
Chorus
He was nailed to the piano
