Lyrics to Misery is the River
The higher that the monkey can climb
The more he shows his tail
Call no man happy 'til he dies
There's no milk in the bottom of the pail
God builds a church
And the devil builds a chapel
Like the thistles that are growing
'round the thrunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put into a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say about mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork, baby
And it'll always comes roaring back again
Misery's the River of the World
Misery's the River of the World
Misery's the River of the World
The higher that the monkey can climb
The more he shows his tail
Call no man happy 'til he dies
There's no milk in the bottom of the pail
God tempers all the winds for the new shorn lambs
The devil knows the bible like the back of his hand
All the good in the world
You can put into a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you say about mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
And it'll always comes roaring back again
For want of a bird, the sky was lost
For want of a child, the knife was lost
For want of the toy, the child was lost
For want of a nail, a shoe was lost
And misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
Misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
Misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
And misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
And misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
And misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row
The more he shows his tail
Call no man happy 'til he dies
There's no milk in the bottom of the pail
God builds a church
And the devil builds a chapel
Like the thistles that are growing
'round the thrunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put into a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say about mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork, baby
And it'll always comes roaring back again
Misery's the River of the World
Misery's the River of the World
Misery's the River of the World
The higher that the monkey can climb
The more he shows his tail
Call no man happy 'til he dies
There's no milk in the bottom of the pail
God tempers all the winds for the new shorn lambs
The devil knows the bible like the back of his hand
All the good in the world
You can put into a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you say about mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
And it'll always comes roaring back again
For want of a bird, the sky was lost
For want of a child, the knife was lost
For want of the toy, the child was lost
For want of a nail, a shoe was lost
And misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
Misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
Misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
And misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
And misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
And misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row, everybody row
Everybody row
