You’ve got your angel now   You’ve got your queen of hearts   You always said you wanted this   But this is hard   A girl’s a gift from God if you can hold her heart   Don’t you let her go; she’ll tear you apart      She’ll take you down to the river and throw you in, leave you when the sun goes down   Tell you that you could’ve been a real fine fellow if your daddy would’ve had the time   Leave you in the morning when the fog is forming on the Mississippi River bed   Well, you soon discover when you tell her that you love her that the girl you used to love is dead   She’ll take you down to the river and do it all over again      You’ve got your Ingrid Bergman   Oh you’ve got your girl   You always said you wanted this   But are you sure?   A girl’s a gift from God if you can hold her hand   Don’t you let her go; she won’t understand      She’ll take you down to the river and throw you in, leave you when the sun goes down   Tell you that you could’ve been a real fine fellow if your daddy would’ve had the time   Leave you in the morning when the fog is forming on the Mississippi River bed   Well, you soon discover when you tell her that you love her that the girl you used to love is dead   She’ll take you down to the river and do it all over again      Oh baby, I’m sorry   I never meant to treat you bad; I was in a hurry, honey   Oh baby, I won’t do it again   Oh baby, baby, I’m sorry      She’ll take you down to the river and throw you in, leave you when the sun goes down   Tell you that you could’ve been a real fine fellow if your daddy would’ve had the time   Leave you in the morning when the fog is forming on the Mississippi River bed   Well, you soon discover when you tell her that you love her that the girl you used to love is dead   She’ll take you down to the river and do it all over again      She’ll take you down to the river and throw you in, leave you when the sun goes down   Tell you that you could’ve been a real fine fellow if your daddy would’ve had the time   Leave you in the morning when the fog is forming on the Mississippi River bed   Well, you soon discover when you tell her that you love her that the girl you used to love is dead   She’ll take you down to the river and do it all over again
