(J.J. Cale) Well, the river runs deep And the water is cold as ice The river runs deep And the water is cold as ice I go down there every chance I get It's where my baby she met her death And the river runs deep And the water's cold as ice Ain't no woman Gonna make a fool out of me Ain't no woman Gonna make a fool out of me Running 'round, that's what they said She's at the bottom of the river dead And the river runs deep And the water's cold as ice No cheating woman Gonna get a good man down No cheating woman Gonna get a good man down Running 'round like a silly fool You're gonna end up at the bottom of the pool And the river runs deep And the water's cold as ice
