Tell me she didn't go to the river
Tell me she didn't throw herself in

[Chorus]
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did that
Yes she did daddy
Yes she did yes she did

Tell me she didn't leave her little children
Alone in the world with a drunken man

[Chorus]
Oh, no!

Tell me she didn't give up on living
Do something crazy she can't take back

[Chorus]

Tell me she didn't leave everybody
Crying, weeping and hurting like that

[Chorus]
