Something is Afoot on Old Man McGrady's River

Ripples in the water break the rhythm of the rain
There's something at the bottom of that lake called Pontchartrain
Two days deep and rotting, no one sits upon the grave
Death could never hold him, now the levee's about to break

Roll up your caddy, baby
I've got my nine
I see the fire burning
Something's wrong on the river
Something's wrong on the river tonight

Your daddy said I'm trouble
Turns out he's right
They'll never find him now
But something's wrong on the river
Something's wrong on the river tonight

And he's rising with the tide
Oh, we tried to hide it
But he'll never let us go
She sold her mother's ring
Never left New Orleans
So we put him down below
Or we thought so

Roll up your caddy, baby
I've got my nine
I see the fire burning
Something's wrong on the river
Something's wrong on the river tonight

Your daddy said I'm trouble
Turns out he's right
They'll never find him now
But something's wrong on the river
Something's wrong on the river tonight

Roll up your caddy, baby
I've got my nine
I see the fire burning
Something's wrong on the river
Something's wrong on the river tonight

Your daddy said I'm trouble
Turns out he's right
They'll never find him now
But something's wrong on the river
Something's wrong on the river
(Something's wrong on the river)
(Something's wrong on the river)
Something's wrong on the river tonight
