River Boy by No Fingers Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2020

[Verse 1]
A runaway stroller and a bad babysitter
A misheard direction and a botched protection
She sent him to the river with a bucket and a spade
He was swallowed by the water and never seen again

[Chorus]
Adopted by the son
Raised by the daughter
Dropped into the mud
Dropped into the water
Living in the river
Right in Illinois
The ripples of a sinner
The sin of river boy
Adopted by the sun
Raised by the otter
Dropped into the mud
Dropped into the water
Living in the river
Right in Illinois
The ripples of a sinner
The sin of river boy
[Verse 2]
The little boy’s sister, a sitter on the run
Going into hiding, afraid of everyone
She hasn’t seen the river boy, since he went away
He was swallowed by the water and never seen again

[Bridge]
Oh!

[Chorus]
Adopted by the son
Raised by the daughter
Dropped into the mud
Dropped into the water
Living in the river
Right in Illinois
The ripples of a sinner
The sin of river boy
Adopted by the sun
Raised by the otter
Dropped into the mud
Dropped into the water
Living in the river
Right in Illinois
The ripples of a sinner
The sin of river boy
