Got a child that she never named

Am D
And look down into your soul
Am D
Look down into your soul
She?s got a rosary and a rabbit's foot
A black cat bone that treats her good
A tiger tooth and a gris-gris stick
Still it don't do the trick
So meet me tonight at the Red River
Where the water is clear and cold
Meet me tonight at the Red River
And look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
I'm gonna walk her down to gypsy town
Find the spirit queen I've seen around
Paint her body up in mud and clay
Let the river wash it all away
So meet me tonight at the Red River
Where the water is clear and cold
Meet me tonight at the Red River
And look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
