Time’s come for me, momma Time’s come to take me away…
““Time’s come for me, momma Time’s come to take me away Leave a coin on my eye for the toll ’Cause the river man needs his pay Don’t cry ’bout the way I’ve gone Or the mud I’ve got on my soul I’ve lived the way I needed to live No way was I going out whole —Toll for the River””
