They baptized me one fine day   Down at the river's edge   All my sins are washed away   Like water under the bridge      I had a little girl and her eyes were blue   She lived just over the ridge   Her love ran deep and her love ran true   Like water under the bridge      Sailin' away on a paper boat   As far as I can go   All the way to New Orleans   And the Gulf of Mexico      River run clear river run clean   River run rough sometime   River run wild and it run serene   Just like a friend of mine      Tie my troubles in a gunnysack   And throw 'em over the edge   Sailin' away and I won't be back   Like water under the bridge      You might be saint you might be sinner   You might be Billy The Kid   You might crap out or roll a winner   It's water under the bridge
