C G D G
They were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
C G D G
Singing Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm
G
There was a crowd gathered down by the river
Where me and Benny Thompson used to play
C
I wondered if they had enough a water
G
To wash old Lester Harper's sins away
D G
Cause I heard Miss Ida whisper he's too lost to save
G
Well they would sing and it would rain and it was frightening
Some things are hard to understand when you're eight
C
I can still hear the thunder and see the lightning
G
When Preacher Hayes raised his hands to pray
D G
I could feel my body tremble cause I was so afraid
C G D G
Yeah they were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
