[Verse]
Gonna take you down by the river
Smell the gunpowder, hear the ghost sing
Kids in the shadows, drinking by the water
Smoking and blowing them smoke rings
Gonna take you down to the river
You're gonna learn about the times, man
Bloodstains will make you shiver
You're gonna feel it in your spine, man

[Verse]
Used to walk down Sante Fe Street
Had a quarter in my hand and a fake ID
Sip a little poison on the Mexican side
Bones in the ground heard singing off-key
Now walk down Sante Fe Bridge
Lie low between thе lanes, man
Nobody flinching when the killing shots ring
Thеse times ain't the same, man

[Chorus]
Undertaker look like crows
Red eyed and dressed in black
Undertaker said there ain't no law
Cross that river, you never come back
[Verse]
Gonna take you to the railroad bridge
Gonna see men hanging like scarecrows
Noose tied on the violent side of the lamp
Blown over so the world knows
I'm gonna take you to the railroad bridge so you
You have to look 'em in the eye
Counting the thread, sending you a message
Blood spilling, don't matter what side

[Chorus - Variation]
Undertaker look like crows
Red eyed and dressed in black
Undertaker said there ain't no law
Cross that river, you never come back
Cross that river, you never come back

[Verse]
Crows fly through the sister city street
Weep for the lives of the lost ones
They cry what a shame, what a pity
Mouths fed through the crimes of a drug gun
Crow flies through the broken city
Gather up the remains, man
Take heed, we all bleed
Keep it running through your veins, man
[Bridge]
And when I walk that line
I see the other side
Something in their eyes
Well it's the same as mine

[Chorus]
Undertaker look like crows
Red eyed and dressed in black
Undertaker said there ain't no law
Cross that river, you never come back

[Chorus]
Undertaker look like crows
Red eyed and dressed in black
Undertaker said there's only one law
Cross that river, you never come back

[Outro]
Cross that river, you never come back
Cross that river, you never come back
Cross that river, you never come back
Cross the dirty river and you never come back
