[Verse]
I’m a dead man lying cheap
Knock you right out of your seat
I’m a dead man, blow it on my hands
Greater [?] on my feet
I’m a dead man, made you a promise
I will take you the promised land
I’m a dead man, carry your sword
I will take it just as far as I can

[Chorus]
You’re on the river and I’m sailing home
These gentle waves lead us towards Babylon
And in the distance I could hear your song
Oh, Lord, please let me die on the river of Babylon

[Bridge]
Oh, praise His name on this day
For, Hallelujah, He brings me the joy of life
And on my way I will strive to takе a man's life
In the name of my Lord, givе me the strength

[Verse]
I’m a dead man lying cheap
Knock you right out of your seat
I’m a dead man, blow it on my hands
Greater [?] on my feet
I’m a dead man, made you a promise
I will take you the promised land
I’m a dead man, carry your sword
I will take it just as far as I can
