River I Was

The river I was
Thinking I’d cross
Swept me down
Swept me off track a while
‘Till a ship full of diamonds
Came floating down stream
Picked me up set me
Back on my feet
I asked for the one
Who’d set me free and
The boys they just laughed
Let me be a while
‘Cause a ship full of diamonds
Ain’t got no crew
Just the ones that it saves
Passing on through
