He took me for a ride
In the late hours of the night
Oh, what a fearful sight
Blood in the water

And oh he came to be
My blackest memory
He washed his hands to me
Now there's blood in the water

He said: Don't do this
Forgive me
He's begging me for mercy
I looked him in the eye
Gave him a crooked smile
Put him out of my misery
And now there's

Blood, blood, blood in the water
In the water
Blood in the water
Blood, blood, blood in the water
In the water
Blood in the water
Down, down, down to the devil you goes
In the water
Blood in the water

And when the lawmen came
He asked me to explain
Just how my lover boy came
To lie in the water
I said: It was no crime
He was no love of mine
His blood was the coldest kind
Now it's all in the water

He said: Don't do this
Forgive me
Was begging me for mercy
I looked him in the eye
Gave him a crooked smile
Put him out of my misery
And now there's

Blood, blood, blood in the water
In the water
Blood in the water
Blood, blood, blood in the water
In the water
Blood in the water
Down, down, down to the devil you goes
In the water
Blood In the water

Blood, blood, blood in the water
In the water
Blood in the water
Blood, blood, blood in the water
In the water
Blood in the water
Down, down, down to the devil you goes
In the water
Blood in the water

I'd do it all again
See that river turn to red
Sweet retribution
Blood in the water
